Squad succession

We should have sold them Waqa, and held onto Oppa... easy in hindsight of course, but losing a defensive centre (without any equally good defensive replacement) is a pretty poor succession outcome.

Well yes, but we could have made him an offer he shouldn't refuse...

Main point being that we didn't replace an NRL-level defensive centre when we knew we'd lose him - and still haven't.

Or evidence to support your claims. Look at the stats. He was better than most reserve grade outside backs this year. He’s probably good enough for the top 30.

Cini was so good he had Black eyed Pea's,Waqa and a 19 yr old rookie picked ahead of him. And the fruit loop has the hide to put others on ignore for trolling lol.
I think he’s a “specialist” centre. That does not mean I am saying he is a special centre BTW.

Waqa is supposedly a specialist centre, and how much wing had the young rookie played before he was thrown into first grade??? Pretty sure all of Cini's first grade experience was on the wing as well.

Waqa had the yips.

AMS had more upside over Cini.

With the ball, Cini is a good player and if he gets his reads right in the toughest off season ever, you never know.

The fact that we signed (?) Harpo Marx from Manly must mean that we we can't be all that confident.

Maybe whatshisface from the wtigers wil solve everything.

He had a mullet and his lunatic mates from Minchinbury had there 5 seconds of fame in the crowd during his debut game in wollongong.

Would he still be relevant otherwise.

Re Opacic, he said that he had a couple of things he wanted to do before finishing his career, play for Parramatta the club he supported as a boy and the picture of his son in an Eels shirt on the field after winning at Suncorp was a dream come true.
The opportunity to play in SuperLeague also and take his family on Europe trips before school was another tick on his list.
