Name: Jason Power
Position: Prop
D.O.B: 3rd January 1981
Debut: N/A
Comments: Yet to make his 1st grade debut Jason made the Eels part time squad for the 2001 season. He'll have a lot of work to do to get into the top 17. If injuries strike the Eels forwards as they did in early 2000 then Jason could be one of the players called upon to fill the boots of the Eels international props.

 

Name: Adrian Rainey
Position: Second Row
D.O.B: 6th January, 1979
Debut:  
Comments: Signed during the offseason from Wests. Rainey will start the year in first division and will problably only get time if injuries strike the Eels forwards.

 

Name: Chad Robinson
Position: Prop
D.O.B: 20th October, 1980
Debut: 2000
Comments: Robinson has only played a few games in first grade but this has been due to the Eels depth in the front row. Chad has shown some good form in 1st division but as yet hasn't cracked the 1st grade sqaud for a regular position.

Name: David Solomona
Position: Second Row
D.O.B: 26th Janaury, 1978
Debut: 1999
Comments: Solomona had an outstading year with the Roosters and was the Roosters best forward and possibly their best player in the Grand Final. He scored a try against the Eels in the 1st game of the year and played a major role in the Roosters hammering of the Eels later in the year. Solomona should be an outstading aquisition for the Eels in 2001.

Name: Danny Sullivan
Position: Second Row
D.O.B: 1st April, 1982
Debut: N/A
Comments: Sullivan hasn't made his first grade debut but he has already been talked about as being an outstanding player. He may find it hard to crack the team in 2001 however he will make the side in the next couple of years. He is very big for someone his age and will problably get bigger in the next couple of years.

 

Name: Michael Vella
Position: Prop
D.O.B: 19th February, 1978
Debut: 1998
Comments: Despite playing 8 games off the bench in 1998. Michael Vella was named the 1999 Rookie of the Year. Vella has already played 4 Origins and 6 test for Australia. Vella had a poor 2000 season this was mainly due to a number of injuries that kept him out of 9 games in total. He should be able to re gain top form in 2001 if he can stay fit.

Name: David Westley
Position: Prop
D.O.B: 7th June, 1974
Debut: 1993
Comments: Westley helped Canberra win the 1994 Grand Final and has played Rep League for Papua New Guniea. He suffered a serious knee injury in 1997 and due to that couldn't play in 1998 and for most of the 1999 season. The Eels signed him and hoped that David could overcome the knee injuries. He did and played a vital role in the Eels 2000 campain. He will have a lot of competition for the front row positions in 2001 but going on his performances in 2000 he will not look out of place in the starting side. Westley is one of a only a few Eels players to have played 100 games.

Name: Adam Wheeler
Position: Prop/Second Row
D.O.B: 3rd April, 1980
Debut: 2000
Comments: Wheeler made his top grade debut against the Dragons in the last game of the regular season in 2000. He should get a lot more games in the top grade over the next few years. Wheeler often fills the role of captain when he plays in 1st division.

Name: Troy Wozniak
Position: Second Row
D.O.B: 6th January, 1978
Debut: 1999
Comments: Wozniak played in most of the Eels early season games due to injury to other forwards. He plauyed very well however after players like Cayless and Vella returned it was Wozniak who lost his spot in the side and although he didn't play to many bad games in 1st division he was unable to crack the top grade side again during the season. He has been kept on in the full time sqaud this may see him play more of a role in the Eels 1st grade side in 2001.
