Under 20's

I haven't been keeping up to tabs with under 20's this year but I realised we made the finals. What are our chances of beating the Tigers and do we have a shot of winning it all?

PS- any stars I can keep an eye on that may make impact next year.

  • Can French go back to play for the 20s
    • don't think so he played a lot of nrl games.

  • I wouldn't really want him to go back to the 20's anyway. Would rather he rests up for next year. I'm sure BA would be thinking the same.
  • Are there any players from this under 20s team that can make 1st grade next year?

  • It's a pretty young side but French and Twai were the two stars in the side. Fuiamano is off to Souths.

    So i'd say no.

  • I've always thought that Michael Doolan would be the kid who is likely to make the most improvement once he gets out of the juniors. He'll easily grow into an NRL physique, and he's got all the skills. Very similar kind of half to Norman and Gutho in that he's somewhere between a fullback and a half, so it might make sense to develop our "style" around that style of player, and instead look to install a more traditional ball player at nine, in which case Doolan fits very nicely into the Eels development (as will Travis Turnbull I might add).

    • Trav was let go earlier this year. I know he's a while away but Kyle Schneider is a good playmaker out of dummy half.
  • Is Twal any good?
