Kemp had one of the best breakout years for a winger, and the one that got him #4 that game was a belter.

I'd love to have someone who just pins the ears back on the wing again.

Lol @ Foran's hammy.

Parra have paid millions for a crock. Fantastic player but he only plays 16 games a year.

Gotta admit I had a laugh too

Watmough, Scott, Gordon, Foran

Probably 60% of their cap right there, lucky to get 50 games combined this year.

Parra will win, and we'll hear all about how they're premiership contenders, and then they'll capitulate.

Gordon was injury prone at Panthers but the past 3 seasons has averaged just shy of 24 games per season at Sharks. He's not the athlete he once was, but he's still a solid fullback with a good footy brain. Making him a huge upgrade on the fullbacks the Eels have used since Hayne left.

Foran is out.

Unless Norman can somehow become the player he is hyped to be by the media, we should do it comfortably.

If Foran is out, we're in trouble. Kelly is solid and always gives 100%, but he's a park footballer with no flair.

Norman is a fking good player but he can't carry all the attack

Surely they didnt pay much for Gordon. He's nothing special.

Given room and on his day,he can tear teams apart.But games like those have been rare-ish.His best days were at the Panthers.He was so happy there and it did cut deep when they had to let him go.

At a team like Parra,I'm sure he will find better opportunities than he had at the Sharks,due to Parra having more players that have better line breaking abilities.

With Foran out,Parra will still be very competitive.I'm going Parra by 6.

I thought Broncos to win even before Foran is out. Now there's even less to like about the Eels.

The Broncos will be the hungriest team in the comp. My pick for minor premiers. Their campaign starts here.
