Wing in Parramatta's sights

[Ike E Bear]

Pettybourne isn't very big (he's smaller than Cayless if the web is to be believed), but he runs with real purpose and sting. He does a fair bit of his running up the middle, but you see him hunting a bit wider too. I think he's a real talent, but primarly a secondrower.

I think Inu can come good too (Hayne was tarred with the same brush until recently). Sure, he's probably overpaid based on the past two seasons ... but I still think he's class. I really like him, so I guess I'd hate to see him in different colours.

I still think Michael Monaghan would be a good pick up. He's experienced, tough and versatile. He could spend time in the halves and hooker, giving younger guys like the Keatings and Mortimer a big helping hand and some valuable guidance.

Wing is a bit more pigeonholed as a hooker than Monaghan, in my opinion, so we have to look to where our greatest need is and then compare them from a value perspective based on what (if anything) we could get them for.

There's a culture change happening at the Eels and I think we're only a couple of missing pieces away from having a team that can really compete in 2010 and even more so in 2011 and beyond.

Yeah Pettybourne doesn't come across as fit enough to me personally to play up front.

I don't think we'll ever see Tahu in the blue and gold again, unfortunately.

I am pretty sure that if Inu was playing for a good team he'd be killing it. If he was at the Bulldogs right now, getting quality ball from Ennis and Kimmorley, he's be demolishing teams.

I tend to agree - we need a halfback.

Inu needs early ball, thats the key. He was getting great service from Tim Smith when he was around. Since Tim was run out of town we have had sh*t halfbacks and our backs have never been the same....

Why spend time, money and effort making him something he's not? People were pretty vocal about Ben Smith's transition into the pack, yet somehow this is OK?

No - I say if you want a prop, sign a prop. Not a small but aggressive second-rower who could maybe one day play prop.

Glad you dont have a say in the matter then. Tahu will be 29 next season, is injury plagued and would be asking a pretty penny. No thanks.

Looks like my opinion is shared in higher places eh andrew057? :crazy:

Close. I'm an Eels fan with a big soft spot for his Dad's favourite Bunnies.
