EELS
Sean Russell (fullback): Got a taste of NRL in a 2020 trial match and it won’t be long before he’s pushing for a permanent spot. Tall and athletic with good speed and skills, he starred in Patrician Brothers Blacktown’s NRL Schoolboy Cup premiership. Still eligible for SG Ball but Brad Arthur is a fan.
Sam Hughes (prop): A big, bustling brute of a kid who went into the bubble last season. Still only 19 but at 193cm and 111kg he has plenty of aggression, a prerequisite for any prop. The other front rower at the Eels to keep a watch for is David Hollis who is a towering 196cm and has been a standout through the junior reps.
Viliami Penisini (centre): Came through The King’s School at Parramatta with Joseph Suaalii, Penisini is only going into his first NRL pre-season so he might be a year off really pushing for a first grade spot. But he is a big, robust outside back with a future to match his frame.
Jake Arthur (halfback): Talk about pressure. Every team he runs out to play targets this bloke because he’s Brad Arthur’s son. But every year Jake just rises to the challenge and ploughs ahead to forge his own dreams. Starred for Patrician Brothers who won the NRL Schoolboys final against Westfields. Not blisteringly fast, but what Jake does have is a really good footy IQ as well as a top kicking game, while he is starting to find his confidence running the ball.
Samuel Loizou (five-eighth): Was the youngest player in the 2019 Australian Schoolboys and, at 16, was named Parramatta’s SG Ball player of the year. Came through the same junior teams as Arthur and also plays in the halves. He is a prodigious athletic talent so could easily end up in the outside backs.
