Where do we see the EELS finishing?

Posted by Eels2025 on March 24, 2026 at 10:22pm

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.

I've got serious concerns with our middles. (And with Pezet). Unless we fix those glaring issues I can't see us making the 8.

  Last year our middle defence was the same early on
  
  it improved as the season went on, hopefully the same for this year

    I had us for the spoon. For a very large chunk of the season it was looking like a sure thing. Happy to lose that bet.
    No way you can watch the current Eels performances and suggest we're playing finals. We'd need a big spike in performance.

  Ryles seems to as well, hence the reason for going all in for Keaon and going for Barnett.

  I'd love to know whats really happened with De-Belin.
  
  Guymer was horrendous in the 30 minutes he played last week yet seems to be above De-Belin in the pecking order, something isn't adding up.
  
  De-Belin wasn't setting the world on fire in the first 2 weeks but there have been plenty worse than him.

    have to say it , never come across so much negativity as on this 1EyedEel , have no read one positive paragraph, i think the eels are a strong units and that was shown by the comeback in both games when they were 20 points down and fought back to win them
    
    as I stated , i dont know why kelly and debelin were picked let alone bought by the club , I know Ryles has history with Debelin from his ST George days
    
    but kelly what a bunk, runs sideway and backwards

      Probably a lot of frustration mate, we finished last year strongly, with another pre-season under our belt a lot of fans were most definately expecting to see further improvement this season which hasn't happened yet.
      
      We have a lot of flaws for a team getting results.

    You realise Guymer played out of position right?
    - Poppa > LB March 25, 2026 at 8:42pm
      
      Agreed LB, out of all our young forwards with the variations in the performances (Taiviti aside) I think Guymer is the most consistent in terms of performance, i say that because others have higher planes but Guymer is very trustworthy in his undertakings.
      
      LB you are obviously right in him playing out of position, but I thought it was a clever move on Ryles part, Guymer played in the centres a few years back (captained a winning side from that position as well), obviously heavier slower now, a genuine middle but having that centre experience enabled him to position himself and also mark Suli front on, who was causing some damage.
