This is prob the best squad on paper and 1 that the fans will want to see out there :

Eels 2005

1. David Vaeliki
2. Matt Peterson
3. Timana Tahu
4. Luke Burt
5. Eric Grothe
6. John Morris
7. Michael Witt
8. Aaron Cannings
9. Mark Riddell
10. Mick Vella
11. Nathan Cayless
12. Nathan Hindmarsh
13. Glenn Morrison

14. Daniel Wagon
15. Paul Stringer
16. Dean Widders
17. Ashley Graham

but considering we're coached by Smithy he'll name a 20 man bench each week so add in Chad Robinson, Wade McKinnon, Foi Foi Moi Moi, Craig Stapleton etc etc.........

 

[ByRd]

McKinnon has been Parra's best this year after Hindmarsh

 

[Bib]

1. David Seage
2. Craig Hall
3. Mark Hughes
4. Matt Gidley
5. Anthony Quinn
6. Kurt Gidley
7. Andrew Johns
8. Adam Woolnough
9. Danny Buderus
10. Josh Perry
11. Steve Simpson
12. Clint Newton
13. Daneil Abraham

14. Andrew Price
15. Todd Lowrie
16. Dan Tilse
17. Riley Brown

That would most likley be the Knights team you will see on the paddock in 2005.

Is Robbie O giving it away?

 

[Blunty]

Manly:

1. Brett Stewart
2. Scott Donald(resign him)/John Hopoate
3. Aaron Moule(or someone else we sign)
4. Chris Hicks/Albert Torrens
5. Chris Hicks/John Hopoate
6. Andrew Walker
7. Michael Monaghan
8. Jason King
9. Chad Randall
10. Brent Kite
11. Sam Harris
12. Ben Kennedy
13. Steve Menzies

14. Anthony Watmough
15. Shayne Dunley
16. Kylie Leuluai (Will play for the kiwis next year)
17. Daniel Heckenburg

Then you have Luke Williamson, Ian Donnelly, and I think Manly will sign another winger or centre as well as someone like Moule, especially if Donald goes. A backup halfback will also be purchased.

 

[swing_low]

moule isnt good enough, i want a state of origin class centre like we were promised

 

[Earl]

Moule is a state of origin class centre. Well at the top of his game he is.

 

[Blunty]

Changed my mind:

1. Brett Stewart
2 & 5: Hicks, Donald, Hopoate, D Peachey, J Taylor.
3 & 4: Torrens, Hicks, Hill, Moule, Lyon.
6 & 7: Andrew Walker, Michael Monaghan, Daniel Holdsworth, Jeff Robson.
8 & 10: King, Kite, Heckenburg, Haumono, Leuluai, Donnelly.
9. Chad Randall, Dunley, Hollingsworth, Macey.
11, 12 & 13: Menzies, Harris, Kennedy, Watmough, Williamson, G Stewart, Tutt.

 

[swing_low]

some good talent in that squad, it would really put the pressure on des to have a good year, if he cant make the 8 with that squad, he must go

 

[chemicalbrother]

He's playing for Widnes atm. A rather reliable source has said the club is trying to secure his services.

i heard Moule is close to signing for Widnes for another year

 

[Big Mick]

when did u sign Daniel Holdsworth?

 

[Blunty]

when did u sign Daniel Holdsworth?

Most of that squad is wishful thinking, but you never know.

[Hurriflatch]

A few uncomfimed signings in blunty's team Lyon, Moule, Holdsworth and Hill and considering the success rate with signing players they were chasing they'd be lucky to get 1 of those 4

 

[Jaime_Koeppe_Is_Hot]

1. David Seage
2. Craig Hall
3. Matthew Gidley
4. Paul Franze
5. Anthony Quinn
6. Kurt Gidley

Actually as I recall we were 2 from 2 before June 30. Then Parramatta offered Tahu a lot of money, and Manly didn't even try and table an offer in the end, and we offered Monaghan the most money out of all opposed yet he chose the Roosters. I wouldn't say we are doing that badly in the recruitment stakes.

17. Greg Bird/Todd Lowrie

good bloody line up that one!

 

[RenoufPhan]

Assuming Gordy hang up the boots (which looks likely):

1. Karmichael Hunt
2. Justin Hodges
3. Brent Tate
4. Shaun Berrigan
5. Craig Frawley
6. Darren Lockyer
7. Brett Seymour
8. Shane Webcke
9. Barry Berrigan
10. Petero Civoniceva
11. Corey Parker
12. Dane Carlaw
13. Tonie Carroll

14. Casey McGuire
15. Neville Costigan
16. Tom Learoyd
17. Darren Mapp

Rest of top 25 squad: David Stagg, Sam Thaiday, Brad Meyers, Berrick Barnes, Michael Ryan, Ben Czislowski, Nick Parfitt, Neale Wyatt


* If Tallis choses not to retire, he has said he will play the 2005 season off the bench, which would push either Learoyd or Mapp back to the Clydesdales.

* I'm not sure what the plans are for Hodges. He may have to play in the centres if he hasn't regained his speed, pushing Tate out to the wing.
