1. Who do you think was our best back ?
Corey Norman. He was the go to player as far as I'm concerned. Was obviously not fit in 2014 but this year he showed us what he can do when he is injury free.

2. Who do you think was our best forward ?
Tim Mannah. Most metres gave his all and got better as the season progressed. His best year since 2009.

3. Which player disappointed you the most in 2015?
Sandow and Hopoate. Both should have been charged with obtaining a financial advantage by deception.

4. Which current (Eels) player do you most look forward to seeing next year?
Current player: Junior Paulo. He will be the best prop in the game in the near future. The other is obviously Kieran Foran.

5. What one thing most affected our season ?
Learning to play without Hayne.

6. Was Watmough money well spent?
No. For a player on $600 odd k I need more than him being a life coach for some up and comers. He played busted all year and was a shadow of the player that he used to be.

7. Should Semi stay on the wing?
Yes. No need to make him a centre, yet.

8. Where would you like to see our home games played in 2017?
Remondis Stadium. I could jog there. On a serious note it will be ANZ despite its awful atmosphere. Hope its Allianz.

9. What should the maximum capacity of the new stadium be?
40K. Do it properly the first time. If it's only 30K it's like doing a two lane M5 all over again.

10. Do you believe the admin of our club has turned a corner?
No. If it was up to me I would hold an extraordinary general meeting and sack the lot of them and call for new elections. It cannot be all Seward's fault for the amateur decisions. The Foran fiasco, the Hopoate debacle. Sharp and his team have to be made accountable. Why does he even publicly have so much say when he is not good at it? Who is the CEO? Isn't that his job? Sharp's heart may be in the right place but he screams incompetence and a man with little self awareness. I also suspect he knows more than he is letting on. Comes across as a dope and a liar. Sorry Sharpy but you had a miserable year.

11. Is Brad Arthur the ideal coach for this club currently?
Definitely. However he must make the 8 in 2016. That is his minimum KPI.

12. How many games did you attend this season?
One. The least since supporting them.

13. Are you happy with our logo being an Eel or should we look to change?
Love the Eel. It's unique.

14. How many times would you re-watch replays of our matches?
Maybe some try highlights but never the entire game if I have already watched it on Fox. May watch a replay if I saw it live especially if it is from a shit ground like ANZ.

15. What was your highlight of this season?
Confirming the signature of Foran. The biggest new signing in our history.


16. Lowlight?
That loss against the Cowboys. The Foran debacle. The "Hopoate contract." The continuous leaks from the board. The old morons feeding innuendo and rumour to the media. Why can't they let it go? Also Pou destroying many a thread and him not taking my advice and seeking professional help. The kid needs it.

Semi, easily.

2. Who do you think was our best forward ?

Junior Paulo or Timmy.

3. Which player disappointed you the most in 2015?

4. Which current (Eels) player do you most look forward to seeing next year?

Again, Semi.

Second tier cap issues.

Imo, yes. We are a better unit with him on the field imo.

For now, yes.

8. Where would you like to see our home games played in 2017?

Pirtek. Only Pirtek.

30,000

10. Do you believe the admin of our club has turned a corner?

Yes.

11. Is Brad Arthur the ideal coach for this club currently?

12. How many games did you attend this season?

Six.

13. Are you happy with our logo being an Eel or should we look to change?

I love our logo. It's unique.

14. How many times would you re-watch replays of our matches?

Wins: 4 or 5.

15. What was your highlight of this season?

Beating Manly twice, and Sandow f**king off.

3. Which player disappointed you the most in 2015? Sandow, but this was expected.
4. Which current (Eels) player do you most look forward to seeing next year? Junior Paulo - He needs to become one of the top front rowers in the completion for us to see success. Mannah needs to be better also.
5. What one thing most affected our season ? Our complete lack of attention to detail on consistently winning the play the ball area.
6. Was Watmough money well spent? Yes
7. Should Semi stay on the wing? Yes
8. Where would you like to see our home games played in 2017? The highest bidder

1. Who do you think was our best back ? Semi Radradra
2. Who do you think was our best forward ? Tim Mannah
3. Which player disappointed you the most in 2015? Chris Sandow
4. Which current (Eels) player do you most look forward to seeing next year? Junior Paulo
5. What one thing most affected our season ? Injuries. But most importantly the injury of Semi and the suspension of Junior
6. Was Watmough money well spent? We won't know until his contract is finished. Atm I'm going to say yes. We needed experience and toughness in the forward pack and he brought that. He'll be able to teach our young players how to win in first grade and even if we only have 1 forward reach the heights of what Choc did he's done the job he was brought for.
7. Should Semi stay on the wing? Defensively yes, maybe not so much in attack.
8. Where would you like to see our home games played in 2017? Wherever we can make the most amount of money. So ANZ and TIO stadium are the 2 most likely.
9. What should the maximum capacity of the new stadium be? Should be aiming for 35k and then when you cut back with big screens, advertising and all that stuff it'll bring it back down to around 32-33k
10. Do you believe the admin of our club has turned a corner? Turned the corner of what? I think they're moving in the right direction they just need to clean up the mishaps when it comes to contracts. Outside of the Hoppa and Foran contract situations have they done anything badly, plus if it was purely Seward's fault then the board did the right thing by getting rid of him and if they make the incorrect decision on the next CEO then they won't have turned the corner.
11. Is Brad Arthur the ideal coach for this club currently? Yes
12. How many games did you attend this season? 17 Eels games.
13. Are you happy with our logo being an Eel or should we look to change? Stay the same
14. How many times would you re-watch replays of our matches? I'd watch all of them. I think enough time has past that I wouldn't get mad at watching them
15. What was your highlight of this season? Breaking records
16. Lowlight? Losing to the Cowboys after we were up 30-6 just after half-time, also losing to Canberra.

1. Who do you think was our best back ? In a year where our marquee fullback walked away, and our big money halfback was missing in action, Corey Norman's efforts should be applauded.
2. Who do you think was our best forward ?
I'm a bit of a Manu Ma'u fan, loads of minutes and good efforts in defence and attack.
3. Which player disappointed you the most in 2015 ? Probably Chris Sandow playing like a busted arse, with big bucks Watmough a close second. *Edit - had forgotten Hoppa already, pretty woeful effort considering his salary.
4. Which current (Eels) player do you most look forward to seeing next year? Probably Kenny Edwards after a year off - he should push Watmough back to a bench position.
5. What one thing most affected our season ? Our wonderboy fullback Hayne walking out a season early, without the chance to plan properly for replacing him.
6. Was Watmough money well spent? In hindsight no, though might have been if he wasn't signed injured and laying busted.
7. Should Semi stay on the wing? Well, um... yes.
8. Where would you like to see our home games played in 2017? Anywhere but Homebush
9. What should the maximum capacity of the new stadium be? 35,000 should see us and the Wanderers through.
10. Do you believe the admin of our club has turned a corner? Well, we've finally managed to kick 3P out, so yes.
11. Is Brad Arthur the ideal coach for this club currently? Yes.
12. How many games did you attend this season? About three I think.
13. Are you happy with our logo being an Eel or should we look to change? Keep the Eel, what's the point in changing?
14. How many times would you re-watch replays of our matches? Once is enough, unless it's a finals game or something
15. What was your highlight of this season? Beating Manly Round 1.
16. Lowlight? Grubby club politics especially by the Parramount ticket/website, throwing away the Cowboys game after a big lead.
