NRL roster rater: Assessment of each club’s top 25 players, with ratings from 1-16 Ben Glover FOX SPORTS December 10, 2014 8:00AM dailytelegraph.au IT doesn’t always translate to premierships, but with all the player movement in the off-season it’s worth taking a look at the overall feel of every NRL squad to suit up in 2015. How much top-end talent does your team possess? Has the squad got enough depth to cover for the inevitable injuries that always have a bearing on ladder positions? Bearing all this in mind, we’ve rated every 2015 NRL roster, based on their top 25 players, on talent from 1-16. 12. EELS Will Hopoate, Semi Radradra, Brad Takairangi, Ryan Morgan, Vai Toutai, Corey Norman, Chris Sandow, Tim Mannah, Nathan Peats, Junior Paulo, Kenny Edwards, Anthony Watmough, Manu Ma’u, Isaac De Gois, Joseph Paulo, Darcy Lussick, Tepai Moeroa, Pauli Pauli, David Gower, Richie Fa’aoso, Beau Champion, Reece Robinson, Danny Wicks. Can a team that was so reliant on one player cope without him? That will be the question that follows the Eels around in 2015 after Jarryd Hayne’s shock exit to chase his NFL dreams in the US. Looking on the bright side though, Parramatta’s forward pack made some huge gains in 2014, and it’s only going to get better with the addition of Anthony Watmough. A back row of Watmough, Kenny Edwards and Manu Ma’u looks a very tough proposition, not to mention the emergence of young tyro Tepai Moeroa. There’s plenty of depth in the front row too, and halves Chris Sandow and Corey Norman started to click by the end of 2014. Still, unless Will Hopoate adapts very quickly to his new role of fullback, finals look a tough ask.
