Your questions to the Eels bosses

Next week is our last Supporters Group Alliance meeting for the year, so if you have questions for the likes of Jim and Mark, get them in.

As a reminder, the SGA is focused on the club's interaction with community, members and supporters on match days, online, and on topics like membership and apparel.

The SGA has now been around for just over 12 months. Our initial focus and priority was on the club reconnecting with fans through the 2024/25 pre-season. Our feedback and advice was used to help structure the fan days held across western Sydney. The Eels have continued with these fan days as a priority with the first one of this off-season already being held.

We've also got clarity on how membership packs are put together and provided robust feedback on what members want moving forward. I will be asking for an update on where things are at with looking into a new supplier for 2027 memberships.

We have been updated at our meetings on the club's approach to junior retention and pathways. While we don't provide direct feedback on footballing operations, we do ask questions around salary cap, contracting and squad composition.

I imagine Zac Lomax will be a topic for discussion next week alongside recruitment plans. We don't usually get in-depth info here for obvious reasons, but Mark has, in the past, answered questions regarding our salary cap expenditure and recruitment in broad terms.

Post your questions below if you have anything for the club leadership.

  • To ensure we spend the mandatory required amount of salary cap, are they simply going to pay the juniors they're pinning their hopes on and the (currently) rookie players exorbitant amounts? What is Plan B if Pissants replacement does not live up to expectations?

    If they say we have a 5 year plan please walk out.

"I don't mind this. Our outside back depth is paper thin. We need outside backs with nrl experience. Kelly has some skill. I'm sure Ryles can get the best out of him. We're not signing stars, we're signing players like Kelly, Walker, Jack Williams…"

"He's usually right center, no? So he'll compete with Will P and Simonsson for the right edge of the backs. He's a good backup. I think he played wing before too. 
If he's signing to play left center then he can hack it there well enough and Russell…"
