I think a lot of the good Eels junior talent goes elsewhere, because the talent scouts have no talent. A great example is Paul Gallen. All of these superstar players in the past 30 years were obviously good at a junior level, but Eels were clueless in their own backyard.

Paul Gallen would hate the Eels even though he was a junior. He was told he was not good enough and too small. That is a great example of how lousy the talent scouts are for the Eels.

13. Paramatta Eels
This was the toughest selection yet. So many teams in the league have improved their rosters for this season, but Paramatta have not. The Eels have gone backwards after missing out on the top eight last year following a Grand Final appearance. Their shot at glory two seasons ago was certainly the final opening in a while for the Eels.
Parra lost five of their last eight matches in 2023 and finished two points behind eighth on the ladder. Their losses this year aren’t major, although they gained just two players in Manly’s Morgan Harper and Kelma Tuilagi.
Teams that finished around the same spot on the table are improving, and Paramatta will be left behind.
The Eels have one of the best halves duos in the competition, but it won’t be good enough – they will fail to make the top eight, and 13th is a realistic finish.
