Hudson Young's lucky we've got the problems we do in the edge position, otherwise he should be facing a stint in reggies He's been very disappointing from the games ive seen We need MUCH better from him All evidence is that he doesn't have much better to give. His "bad streak of form" has...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

Sanders looked really promising in this one. While he was very much the secondary half he never looked rushed or rattled which is a real rarity for a half in their first handful of matches. Seems to have good distance on his boot. When his combination with Strange does get a run it'll be interesting...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

In 2026, Strange, Sanders and Chevy will still only be 21 years old. I’d like to think we’d be up towards the top of the table but they’ll still be very young for spine players and I think having the premiership cut-off date that soon is unreasonable. Strange could have 40-50 games under his belt b...

Re: Eels half Ethan Sanders agrees to terms with Raiders for three year deal from 2025

A great signing for the future. Certainly buys another five years for the coach. And it shows in his laidback approach this year. The last two seasons he has looked like a coach under pressure. Particularly 2022 where he looked a dead man walking until Savage and Woolford came into the side and sav...

Up until now, what we need is a defensive winger and I think cotric played pretty good in cup.

Re: Hooker for 2025 and future years

I think Starling has more versatility to his game than Woolford. At least the coaches appear to think that way. Starling can fill in at middle, can sub in the halves in a pinch, and is quick from dummy half. Shame is, he's not particularly good at any of them. I think this role should go to Puru. A...

Re: 2024 Round 7 v Broncos: Game Day

Agree with both your posts Bluesbrother and Rickmando. Any experience he can gain this year will be a benefit but there is that aspect to manage with spine players. Not all gametime is of equal value if you aren't seeing some nuance being added.

Chevy Stewart courageous. Courageous yes, but he just hasn't added anything in these couple of games. An NRL fullback doesn't get by on courage like Gary Jack in the 80s did.

Would love to see Savage given a run at FB in the second half. He seems really keen to be involved.

Hmm concerns about Stewart's build watching this. Can't think of too many fullbacks his size that have been elite without top tier speed.
