Eagles recruits for 2016

[Mark from Brisbane]

Have we signed him yet ( beyond 2015)??

 

[Red Pill]

Warwick signed him for 2 years on a second tier contract. The big fellow will be an eagle in 2016

^ Agree he can't be a centre in first grade. Probably a lock or backrower.

Anyone know why Demetriou is playing centre? First time I've had a good look at him. He had some surprising speed, but surely he's too big to be a centre in first grade?

They don't have another centre and did a gamble on Demetriou. He will end up in the forwards.He wouldn't be able to keep up with the fast pace in Cup or first grade and not built for centre. He is only short at 175 cm and 104 kg, but has the mongrel to do well. If he keeps fit and dedicated. He has been sacked from a lot of clubs because of poor attitude and other dramas, including former club the Roosters. Playing well,. Whether he can maintain this form in first grade will be interesting against bigger, taller aggressive forwards
