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.

                • Have you watched Manly, Cowboys, and Titans play this year? They are mud, and completely out of form. I am definitely saying we should beat them. Anything can happen, but we're a better team than these 3. Tigers halves have both copped injuries, but agree, they're getting better, it will be a tighter match.

                  • Yes, I have watched them and I also have watched us. Don't kid yourself all those teams will see us as a game they can capably win.....we are lucky at 2 out 3.

                    The question in my mind is can we get back to a defensive posture that we saw at the end of last season......our attack is arguably not as good either?

                • hey your all talking this season is lost already , coaches make player believe in themselves and become great players .

                  history verifies that , with the like Gibson , Bellamy and Bennett , they make great players out of good players 

                  and I believe Ryles has that ability , instead of all the pessimism and  scepticism why not start believing on our team 

                  • One because the spine of the team isn't in place to create this is going to be better for starters.JR will get what he can out of what he's got but it's not going to be enough.

                    You need to be reading between the lines with regards to recruitment.He's targeted middles and a 6 that alone tells me we are short and defunct at those positions alone.The fact we have stop gapped at 6 and still don't have a definitive answers at the mentioned says to me this teams still very much influx.

                    Its what it is you can have expectations but as we've seen against the best so far I think we are very short.

                    • Parra Choker....In my case you don't stop believing in the team when you have been around them since i was 10 years old.

                      The questions you ask for are loyalty based, this is not an issue of loyalty....its a case of reality. Coryn would know more about the game and its requirements than 95% on here.....sometimes its worth listening to some of these hard heads, Michael W is another one you should look out for.

                      PS Get rid of the "choker" part of your avatar, it doesn't exactly give you credibility if you lead with your chin which it seems you are prone to do.....not a criticism by the way just some sage advice.....

                    • hey Mate just to put you in the picture , i started following teh Eels in 1960 when unlimited tackle was still around and followed the eels all through the early years when we have had a mortgage on the wooden spoon  so dont talk me about loyalty , I seen player play you only read about in annals to halls of the leagues club 

                      guys like the Thornetts , lynch etc played 

                    • Really Choker, read some of my posts about that era, I still have those guys autographs, do you? mate I wrote an article recently about the 63 Kangeroos, mate i was around when Thornett came over from Leeds and Jack Argent was the secretary of the leagues club.

                      When you "assume" you make an ass out of you and me. ass u me

                      Your obviously old and stupid as well, but I call my self a Silly Old Bastard and an Arrogant Old Prick......you don't have much to beat on that basis, but I am not sure your smart enough yet to qualify......LB called me a Silly Old Fool the other day.....you need to thicken that skin a bit to get there "Choker" and for Christ's sake get rid of that "Choker" bit....how about Parra Past or Parra in the Fight.....something you can hang your hat on.....no one wants a "choker". 

                    • Have a read of this Choker.....you will find it very interesting.....nice salute to you there "Super".

          • Yeah definitely is. Could Payten's last by then.

            • are we saying is we finish in the 8 and beaten by a top side its alright we had  good year , thats bull shit ,  we need to aim for a top 4 spot and damn well convince ourselves we can beat the top teams

              if we beat the Panther on saturday wont be a surprise we have to believe in our team , only wissh he would pick the strongest

"We capitalised with our chances, they did not. That was the difference. Was it the case of best team lost? i would argue not necassarily as both teams gave their opponents chances, we took our chances compared to them."
