Yeah, he kinda did. When the players expected to carry the team are Jarryd Hayne (the most unreliable **** I've seen in league) & Chris Sandow, you're in trouble. The Storm result means little, teams often fire up for a game or two after a mid-season change. The Eels have too many young guys, average mid-career guys, experienced guys who aren't quite up to it anymore and 'stars' that aren't worth the money they're paid.
If I was looking at recruiting players from the Eels (not necessarily for the Warriors, but for any decent team) I'd take Ken Sio, Tim Mannah and Joseph Paulo - maybe Mitchell Allgood or Willie Tonga (depending on the $ Tonga is getting). That's it.
