Where do we see the EELS finishing?

Just eager to see where everyone thinks we will place on the table come season end?As of now, I have us between 6th-10th, just depending on injuries and how much our middle defence improves throughout the year. Another factor is if we unearth some youngsters like brown and how they impact the team.However, if we somehow snag a result this week against Penrith we will be sitting at 3 wins and 1 losses, which is remarkable considering we would have versed the best 3 teams, all away from home.

  • If Eels beat riff everyone will say 4-8 but if Riff slaughter Eels everyone will be 12-spoon. The roller coaster theory always applies when we know deep down the team has some limitations: the defense in general has yet to assert its bona fides, left side 3-4 in defense a bit suspect, and we are vulnerable at centre and prop to long term injuries or suspensions. 

    If all goes well they're capable of 7-8th. 

    • Panthers have put Broncos, Sharks, and Roosters to the sword, I personally don't think this week's result against them counts much for where we'll finish as Panthers are easily a step above the rest of the teams right now.

  • 8-12 range. If we have a finish similar to last year, banking wins early, we could get 6th or there abouts.

  • 6th

    • I don't know 

  • Optimistic me will say 7th-8th

    Pessimistic me will say 12th

    Realistic me will say somewhere between 7th and 12th.

  • 12th. We aren't as good as last year. Lost brown and lomax which has hurt us. Pezet can't defence. deblin is in Reggie's, same as Kelly 

  • Id say mid table.....our middles are poor and we a couple injuries away from real trouble in the backline.

    we really need a rep centre,middle and quality NRL standard 6..

    Lomax really fucked us

  • 6th to 10th. 

    More likely 7th to 9th. 

    Yes, we have things to work on like Pezet, early game forward momentum etc......but so do other teams. And so far, there is plenty of other teams that have as much problems as us if not more. 

    And I trust us to fix 1 or 2 of our problems as the season progresses. 

     

    My challenge for the team is 13 wins. We had 10 wins last year. 3 more wins this year. That would mean top 8. 3 more wins next year, that would be 16 wins, and 16 wins is almost always 4th or at worst 5th. So it's the right amount of improvement. 

    Let's see.

  • If we manage to avoid anymore injuries between 9th and 12th. If we get more injuries fighting off spoon.
