Lets solve this 5/8 dilemma once and for all

[eels1986]

It took Buettner a few rounds to cement the 5/8 position for the Eels in 2001. I think it might have been round 5 or 6 and then everything clicked for the eels. I am not saying it clicked because of him but the whole side went really well as the history books so.

I know he's been a journeyman, but there is only 1 jumper Michael Buettner should ever be in. A Parra jumper!

I think that's the important point. With Parramatta there never seems to be a guarantee that it's the only jumper they'll wear. They could play their best football here, but then at age 27 or 28 they'll be told to move out and be replaced by imports from other clubs. I don't want to see Vella or Cayless leave simply because they started their careers here and deserve to finish it here too.

I don't care what you do for a 5/8 just send Dykes back to where he came from....the sharks

I think Pearson may be trying to get the job after tonight. :lol:
