Mark Hepworth Spoke about the need for more opportunity's of casual fans to meet their hero's, after games or at other times, also lamented the lose of post match functions on Sundays and the Presentation of the Rookie of the year on the ground at the last Game
This was Countered by Dennis with the Excuse that the players need to recover, and that session will be held at all 3 licenced venues during the year to help compensate, and the the Rookie of the year is now presented at the Gala function to ensure the player is not interrupted in the pre-game warm up to the last home game.
Denis Spoke about the NRL U/20' league. The Biggest concern for the club now as was raised by Alan Overton was where to players go after that if they are not in grade. Denis Concedes that may come back through a designated feeder club that the eels will supply the coaching Staff for.
