That side doesn't include Boyd and Ennis who haven't confirmed they're leaving yet, although don't expect to have Ennis on board next year. Stagg is the only one of those players who is a chance to not be there next year.
Ennis will go, but the longer it drags on i become a little more confident of keeping him. Boyd is replaceable, wingers always are, they just have to catch and put the ball down. Stagg is interesting, don't think theres been much interest in him so he might stay for less than he thinks he is worth.

In my view, they should have made an absolute priority of keeping Hennant, even if it was at the expense of Ennis, Michaels, Stagg and Boyd. Get Hennant on board first, and then worry about the other guys in the order that I have listed them.

Michaels is staying.

We should have kept Hannant, Ennis, Boyd and Kemp and not signed Folau.

Being a Hull fan, I'm surprised you forgot Mat Head.

There's also Darren Albert, Ben Harris, Ian Henderson, Logan Swann, Danny Nutley (twice), Matt Adamson, Tonie Carroll, Brad Meyers, Nick Bradley-Qaliwlaalwllalalala, David Kidwell, Nigel Vagana, Feleti Mateo and David Peachey who've came and gone back. Pretty sure there's more too. Will chase it up when I can be arsed.
OK so there's been almost enough players to field a run on side, slightly less if you exclude the players who have retired.

I actually wasn't even aware that Mateo played for the London Broncos. :blink:

Yeh Brian Smith sent him over there on a loan type deal, similar to what happened with Dobson and the Raiders first time around. Apparently Smith told Mateo he had no future with the Eels and in the NRL and would be better served playing in England.

Logan was a good pick up, Dunneman was a complete disaster.
Logan was great last year, Dunneman could have been good but he turned up injured and unfit and never played first grade. He was going to be first choice halfback in front of Dobson last year.

Our bad. Dunneman never played halfback over here. Only ever had to run as far as the play the ball to get to dummy half.

Big news tonight with the devastating development for Parra that their most creative player this decade, D Wagon, is out of the game.

Had Wagon played we would no doubt have been favourites, as his creative genius would no doubt have nullified the return of Lockyer for Brisbane.

He was signed to play halfback and played in the 7 for the premier league side a few times before retiring mid-way through last season.

Can't help but notice a hint of sarcasm.

Wagon would have the be the second most over rated Eels player of the past decade behind Michael Vella.

Yeah, have tickets to this game, but it's hosing down in Brisbane today. Don't think I'm a big enough fan to sit through the sheeting rain and wind. Anyway, I smell an upset in the air.

Something about Parra, they always lift, god I hate playing them.

As for that upset, Raiders will beat Manly. Eagles were shocking last week and Canberra are like a different team when they play at home. Think they'll get the cash.
Also not putting it past Souths to beat St George this weekend too.

I've got terrible seats. On the dead ball line ffs. Will probably be obscured by a cameraman. I refuse to put the money to waste though.

Don't worry, you'll get to see Parra standing behind there a fair bit. Gutless spivs they are ATM.

Ha - Mick Vella. He used to have a drink at the Rydges at Rosehill, which was my local bar. We used to call him "The Trannie", coz if he stuck a wig on his bald melon, he'd have looked just like one.

That and he played like one, except when his contract was up.
