From Matthew Elliott
PARRAMATTA EELS
Physical: This is an area Brad Arthur has nailed with his coaching staff this year. The contribution from his big men like Junior Paulo and Kane Evans has certainly stepped up in 2019. Think physical, think Maika Sivo. This guy’s strike ability, combining with Michael Jennings, can damage the opposition.
Mental: Application in this area can be a challenge for this group. Mitch Moses can become distracted and with a young Dylan Brown as his halves partner the team can suffer. Have improved over the course of the year so it remains to be seen if that can be maintained.
Structure: The effectiveness of the Eels is very much into the above point. A focused Moses has a huge influence on the Eels’ level of execution. Clint Gutherson certainly also has a key role to play. But if Moses gets off track, the Eels don’t win.
Assessment: A week two appearance for this team would make the 2019 season a success. With the squad and development made, 2020 should generate real optimism.
