WHAT WILL WE DO WITHOUT HINDMARSH?

I was just thinking to myself, sure we have an amazing team but, what are we gonna do when hindmarsh fully retires form the NRL and leaves the eels? :SIts not only the defense that he brings to the team, but its just his presence there. When we versed the dragons, we lost without hindmarsh, there have been many times when we have lost without hindmarsh. I think when Hindmarsh retires we need someone who can hold the team together. But who can that be?

  • Whoever is our captain will lead us! They are all professionals so lets not worry as in the past we have always had a good leader.
  • When we signed Morrison we had a similar type of player who you knew you could count on every time. There aren't too many of them around, but we need to recruit very wisely when Hindy finally (and sadly) hangs up his boots.

    I can think of a couple of similar kinds of players at the moment who could fill Hindy's shoes (though without being the same as him). Luke O'Donnell. I don't know how old he is or how many years he has left in him. Dallas Johnson is another no frills solid player but I've heard he's looking at taking some bigger money to play in England.
    Maybe one of our young blokes will come through and show that he is the obvious replacement.
  • but someone who is a centre and doesnt play much part in the game as hindmarsh does or an average second rower/prop/lock. They cant carry a team. I think its just a matter of all the boys taking their game to the next level and play as a team so that they can all hold the team together as one.
  • No one will replace Hindmarsh. He's a once in a generation player.
    • Hear- hear!
  • no one will ever replace hindy but players like hayne will grow to mature as our future leaders, dont worry guys we are in good hands.
  • If his knees hold up Ben Smith can fullfill the role to some extent.

    2010 will be a huge year for Benny if fit... I'm sure of it,.
  • Any one who thinks Hindmarsh can be replaced ( Think again) , We had Ray Price , then had 10 years or so wait until hindmarsh hit the sceen.

    No player has showed so much passion,respect, dedication and ability as hindmarsh has in this era .

    Hahahaha maybe when the hindmarsh kids grow up ( You will get your answer) . Sign em up for life now EELS .
  • I dont know.
