Some on this forum have suggested Saukuru will be at the Eels in 2027?
It wouldn’t surprise if that is true as they need a left centre and were looking at Moses Suli at one stage.

Look forward to watching Saukuru and Kautaga destroy us on an edge in years to come...

Both have the physical profiles we lack and looks like both will leave because of a lack of opportunity.

The club has purchased Averillo to fill a centre position, ahead of Saukuru. Centre is a very difficult defensive position and I believe holding him back so he can work on his fitness before debuting is the correct decision. Debuting a young player into a team in difficulty is risky.

is there anyone actually saying this?

Eels have Penisini, Nick Meaney (incoming), Jordan Samrani . Does not make sense

CTM starting in the engine room this week has flown under the radar. hopefully still the case an hour before kickoff.

unreal test for him against Clydesdale and Patuki-Case.

Looking forward to it.

The only selection I disagree with in this team is continuing to pick Broederlow at right backrow. Mitch Taotua has much greater upside & performed better in Cup on the edge than Broederlow imo. Probably only getting the jersey ahead of him because he's an NRL Dev contract.

If Mitch Taotua is developed properly, he's a future NRL backrower imo & can be a lethal one.

Nick Meaney has signed with Perth Bears.
So the Eels only recognised centre for 2027 is currently Jordan Samrani with Will Penisini not yet signed anywhere.
I still think he (Penisini) would be a very god recruit for us as he is like a right sided version of Taylan May and Averillo could play on one wing when we are full strength and be great cover tj play in the centres or fullback if we have injuries.
In saying this Will Penisini is an Isaac Moses client, so that would probably prevent that from happening even if Penisini and Wests Tigers were interested.
