I am counting the days until March for us to play again. Who are some players that showing promise that can make debut in 2026. Do we have any upcoming stars/ representative players?
Also as snapshot how is our juniors compared to previous years and other clubs stocks like Penrtih, Dragons, Roosters, Broncos and Bulldogs.
Understand we made finals in all junior competitions so we do have some talent but like some more information on our future Eels

I'm calling it now Lorenzo or those second rowers that resigned idk there names
Richie, Latu.
Twiddle is a chance . Is he viewed the backup to Iongi or would they switch Papalii to FB and bring someone else to 5/8 if Iongi is ever unavailable?
Funa-Iuta, Lorenzo, Popo are real smokeys.
Even bigger Smokey's would be T Brown, Talagi, Lokeni, Dom De Stradis
This is who I think in order
1: Richard Penisini ( if he stays injury free )
2: Will Latu ( if he stays injury free )
3: Twiddle
4: Lorenzo ( more likely back end of the year )
5: Funa- Luta
but I guess it depends who has the best off season and trains the hardest. ( prime example was R Smith this year
