There is a huge gap between Broncos and Panthers and the rest of us

We do not have the X factor these guys do. I know we beat Panthers last round but I reckon we are aways behind these two as is everyone else, 

We will make the 8 but going to be tough to beat these two teams.

Wonder if this was planned or un-expected? 

Bryce and Greig staying.

Good news blokes, both have put pen to paper! 

Forwards vs Backs

In your opinion, who is more important to a team, the forwards or the backs?

Before you answer, I'll throw a hypothetical out seeing as though it's orf season and all...

Pick one player to sign.

If you could pick any player from a club to join eels which one would you choose currently ? For me Manu is someone I'd love at parra. 🤣 Just someone who is a serious threat out wide but can also cover 3/4 spots in the team at a pinch. 

Sanders to stay ?

Remis Smith and Justin Olam

Manly paying overs for everyone.

Not sure where manly is even finding the money for this but Hamoule is getting 5.6 million now over 6 years. Combine that with Shoey 800k geeze they throwing some money around. 

Halves situation - best option taken or big stuff up?

1. We have given our current halves long term contracts that should only have been given if they had won us a premiership. These contracts delete any competition for their spots from any promising juniors coming through. Really these guys have the st

Ethan Sanders

Will he be in NSW cup next season and partnering asi in the halves ? Also has he actually signed with raiders or is that still in progress ?!

Depth

Depth chart below shows we needed Tuilagi and will need a top quality left centre- that way Simmo is a good quality depth for all positions in the backs. Still 4 spots left. I put Moretti in even though can't find him contracted anywhere. Put Matters
