With The Benefit Of Hindsight....

[hineyrulz]

Given my age I saw but don't really remember Pricey, I'd have Caylo in his place, Hindy one spot lower. But yeah otherwise, somewhere in the 3-6 range for great Eels behind Sterlo and Kenny (who I did get to see at the end of their careers an remember something about) at the very least

Caylo higher than Hindy???

 

[T.S Quint]

We should have re-signed Brian Smith.

Caylo higher than Hindy???

For me, yes, by just enough. Similar players IMO, tough as balls and bled for the side. Caylo better with the footy and more influential though I thought. Hindmarsh was a poor leader.

I know you've got a little bee in the bonnet about him but a poor leader doesn't make the most caps of any NRL captain ever.

Mate Caylo isn’t fit to do up Hindy’s bootlaces IMO.


He wouldn’t even make my best ever run on side, I’d have Pay and Fui.


He was carried for years and our highest paid player, while Hindy carried the team single handed at times. I agree Hindy wasn’t a great leader but at least he never went missing in the big moments. Caylo could also be relied to drop the ball at the most inopportune moment. He was a very good front rower and a solid leader but hardly close to our great ever Eels IMO.

Hopefully our greatest ever Eel is one of the ones in our current team. We just don’t know it yet.

That would be very exciting. Imagine if we have 3 or 4 in this team??

Cayless doesn't even get a mention from me. Solid forward who went a few years to long. Zero impact bending the line and low skills. I would put him int the Tim Mannah mould.

J.Smith,Hayne,Hindmarsh,MoiMoi,Semi, J.Lyon, Beautner would be my best 7 since the 90s....Tahu just misses out.

Moses and D.Brown have potential to be.

Ray Price period.
Its no coincidence our last premership was the year he retired. Price was the epitome of leadership.
I think Hindy probably replaces Peter Wynn in the previously nominated best 13. I also think Fui replaces Pay and Semi replaces Glover. Other than those 3 imho the original best ever Eels team remains just that.

Who knows...it may just end up being Will Smith.

Well, it would be pointless wearing underpants.

Well it wasn't a coincidence, but it also had a lot to do with the fact that the club took a long time to work out that the way the game was being played had changed. And Pricey reminds me too much of Rammy at the moment.

He was perfect for the time. But the times, they are becoming quite different.

Yes, he does look like Annie Lennox.

With the benefit of hindsight, Bob would not have sat as close to the violin player.....then again he might not have become famous...Six of one, half a dozen of the other....."Wooden't eye"....

Dont call me "Wooden Eye! " One of my favourite jokes Pete.

A woman got breast implants made of wood yesterday.

This joke would be funny if it had a punchline
