Same process as last season.

1. Clinton Gutherson
2. George Jennings
3. Michael Jennings
4. Brad Takairangi
5. Blake Ferguson
6. Corey Norman
7. Mitchell Moses
8. Daniel Alvaro
9. Kaysa Pritchard

There's a 2019 prediction thread going. You'll find all the answers in there, plus more.

Don't jump the gun, mate. You were waiting for the 2019 team to be finalised before rushing in.

Although Norman has been released he is let to be signed by another NRL team leaving his salary with the Eels still.

Near certain to leave but still an Eel, for now.

As my good friend Gary can attest too I don’t like making and bold predictions before time.

Except he signed with the Dragons last week....and if he's been released, how would he be with the Eels?

No wonder you need other fans to tell you where their side will finish

An NRL team can release a player but the player's salary is still on their books. If (when) Norman signs with the Dragons a portion of his salary will be taken from the Eels books, as the Dragons won't be paying full price.

No official club statement from the Dragons yet announcing his signing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Why no option for 7th to 10th?

I think it's more that the player's (negotiated) payout still counts on your books, and the size of the payout he accepts will be determined largely by the amount his new club is willing to pay him.

Is a portion of his salary going to play five-eighth?

If he's been released, how does he play for Parramatta?

 

[lingard]

16th probably. I just dont see a worse side than us in the NRL.

Corey Norman doesn't recieve any payout from the Eels. His agreed salary simply transfers to the Dragons with the remainder assigned to the Eels cap.

In fact - Norman hasn't been officially released. I'm yet to see or hear any statement from the Eels in regards to Corey Norman.

I bet you a frozen coke that we don’t finish last.

True. It has always troubled me why NRL post a most emphatic ..

Corey Norman has this afternoon been released from the final year of his contract by the Parramatta Eels.

You don't seem smart enough to know something like this for certain.

 

[Eelementary]

f**k it - in for first place.

When we finish Minor Premiers, I'll look like a genius.

And if we fail, we will all be too distressed, blaming everything under the sun, to notice.

It's idiot-proof, tbh.
