Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3694993, member: 8423"] The thing in the Eels favour though is their 6 and 7. Quality halves can make a world of difference and while Brown is average on his own, he really compliments Moses well and obviously, Moses is one of the best 7s in the comp. It looks a very different side to 2024 and honestly, I think that is a good thing. I also fear for them having lost so many of their key juniors but I am also really excited to see how Iongi goes, he'll either end up an Edwardslite or an Isaako, no idea which. It is also difficult for these guys to come in and dominate an entire season from the get go at this age and experience, so that is a big red flag for sure. I suppose the other thing as well is that as O'Brien shows, you can be an assistant in some fantastic systems but it doesn't mean you are going to turn out to be a great head coach. Ryles definitely has a season without pressure though, so let's see if he has the team pointing in the right direction by the end. You look at the side and there is clearly some absolute class there but also some huge gaps and players in key positions who are unlikely to be ready yet. I could see the season starting well and then hitting a crossroads. It will be an interesting team to watch. [/QUOTE]
