Unfortunately, I was just a twinkle in the sky for the 1986 GF, so I would have to say my favourite ever years were -
2005 - That was the year we discovered Timmy and Benny Smith. We were magic, dynamic and explosive that year. Awesome.
2009 - The run to the Grand Final was just magic.
Hopefully 2011 can become everyone's new favourite year!! : ) : )
I know 2001 was an ulimate failure but this team is in the record books as the most attacking team in history. Not a bad effort over 103 years.
a. we will break 2001 points scoring record
b. will have best defensive record
c. win minor premiership
d. win premiership
e. fill nsw with eels players like the 80's
f. tahu behaves himself
g. eels average 40 points a game (FOR)
h. Hayne scores 3 tries in GF
Hell, I wasn't even a dot on artist's impressionist painting at the time.
My favourite year?
You know what? I don't actually have a distinct favourite.
Mine is more of watching the players that we have in Luke Burt, Nathan Hindmarsh, Ben Smith, Jarryd Hayne etc. develop over the years into top-notch players.
