The Big Question: Will Jarryd Hayne cause dissension amongst the Parramatta ranks, much as he did on the Gold Coast?
Predicted Finish: 5th
Authors Note: Depth aplenty in season 2018, as was the case for the Eels last season. The question to be asked is, will they find the right balance? Is โkeyโ signing Jarryd Hayne even good enough to be a walk up start in the centres or on the wing? โ considering youโd have to be a blind man to replace Clinton Gutherson as the fullback after his stellar season in the number one jersey last year โ I think not.
PICK YOUR TEAM: Not happy with the predicted team? Then pick a better one here!
