I agree on Christian Welch, we need a more mobile prop to be paired up with Junior. Not even sure if he is off contract but Matt Prior would be good (he seems incredibly fit).

Nathan Brown May even have to go back into the front row at some stage due to the lack of quality front rowers in our team & off contract.
Then 2020 buy off contract
centre: Joseph Manu or Katoni staggs
Prop: hunt for another hard working prop
lock: Jai Arrow
Go for a gun origin rep player although not much chance of coming to the eels.
We currently have no rep players you can’t keep up with the top teams. Recruit, Recruit, Recruit & give our young players with energy a go and they will flourish around good rep players. That’s the mix of the quality teams.
"I guarantee you the squad as a whole is going into this preseason at a much higher base than they started 2025 preseason. Its laughable to think theyre not.
What developed over 2025 was movement patterns in defence, defensive structures and our…"

I think Uele should be a priority very good player, has size and skill, he would be a great pick up.

Flawed squad but it's realistic, not many blokes are gonna want to come here when we're playing like this
Welch has done his ACL.
2019 off contracts not much quality off contract
prop: Uele & Lodge if he wants to head to Sydney
2nd row: Kurt Capewell or Joel Thompson
Halves: Chad Townsend to partner Dylan Brown.
1 x Centre: Sosiaia Feki, DWZ, Walker, Or Scott.
