Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3581085, member: 8423"] Alright, now we come to the recent Grand Finalists, the Eels. This is a side that in all likelihood would have been up their eyeballs in it last year if it wasn't for constant injuries throughout the year. I guess the question is, do these guys have one more run in them? They are getting older and looked slow in the back end of the year. They are a very good team but a bit like Cronulla, just lack that X factor to win it all...though they are a better Cronulla than Cronulla because they can beat top 8 teams and at times convincingly. So what was the the issue this year, was their fall because of the injuries or are they just past their best? They also don't appear to have a gear to go to to win it all, even if they go on a run again. They are perhaps the only team with a decent record against Penrith in the last couple of years...except when it mattered most. A lot of question marks on them because honestly, with gun halfbacks being at a premium now, they have a very good one with Moses, so they should bounce back if they can avoid injuries but overall, the squad looks pretty light on with plenty of holes to exploit for the better teams aside from a still formidable but aging forward pack. Also, I just don't see anything to worry about other than Sivo in that backline, I have a soft spot for Cini for some reason and so threw him in there. Also, the coach coming out and saying Brown isn't worth the money he is being paid can't be the smartest idea any coach has ever had, early contender for the annual club that self destructs during the preseason? 1. Gutherson 2. Cini 3. Penisini 4. Simonsson 5. Sivo 6. Brown 7. Moses 8. Paulo 9. Hands 10. Campbell-Gillard 11. Matterson 12. Lane 13. Hopgood 14. Lussick 15. Ofahengaue 16. Greig 17. Cartwright/Tuilagi [/QUOTE]
