Long term replacement for Gagai? What's everyone think of Starford To'a? He has been playing really well. Would love to see him back here.

To be honest, I haven't seen anything from him that seems elite? If that makes sense. He looks a strong defender and maybe might become as good as Anasta or Barrett in their primes but I don't see him being top top class.

You need to go back and watch Brown play from 2019-2022. He definitely had potential to become an elite player but he’s stagnated badly the last few years like most of the Eels players have. We’ve bought him for the potential of bringing it out of him, not because he’s worth what we’ve paid him now.

Even I let go when I realise it’s not for the best thing for the club.

Starford Toa is average at best. If we need a centre next year, Fletch Hunt is a much better option.
Have you watched To'a this season? I'm a big Hunt fan but To'a has been great and looks like he is over his injuries.

POS cops some shit, but upgrading Hunt to a development deal for the remainder of this season and 2026 the week after his match winning performance against Manly was pretty good work.

The kid could have easily shopped himself around and picked up a top 30 contract you’d have to think.

He did what literally any recruitment manager would do. Beyond that, people are way overrating Hunt this early. We've got people in here thinking he can just swap in and replace Gags next year, but we've seen very little from him beyond his eagerness to compete for high balls thus far.

I'm not trying to shit on him or anything, but I don't know where this bravado surrounding him at this stage is coming from. He would be a massive, massive downgrade on Gags as a centre as things stand today.

Anasta and Barrett were both excellent sixes. They were not consistent through the entire careers, but injuries had a lot to do with that. I find it interesting you are suggesting fantasy signings but when we actually sign a name player, your first thought is to doubt it. Time will tell Yoshy. A bit more faith perhaps.

I want to believe but it's so hard after being a Knights supporter for 30 years you know?

Barrett in particular was really really good. He’s basically a forgotten great player due to how heavily his career lined up with Fittler and Johns, and also due to wasting those prime years on the Steelers/Dragons. Prime Barrett was a gun and if Brown hit that level that’s a great outcome for us.

Shit coach though.
