In a comical jab at Eels player Shaun Lane, interim coach Trent Barrett and skipper Clint Gutherson have shared a light-hearted moment after a crucial victory over Cronulla.
Lane, who has recently embraced a new role off the bench as a middle forward, showcased his skills in limited game time against the Sharks.
Running for 65 meters, with two tackle busts and two offloads in just 26 minutes on the field, Lane made a noticeable impact.
When asked about Lane's performance, Barrett cheekily commented, "When we can get 80 minutes out of Kelma and Carty, it gives us more room to play around with the bench." The sly remark drew chuckles from Gutherson, showing the camaraderie within the team.
All in all, it was a much-needed win for the Eels, and with players like Lane stepping up, the future looks bright for the team.
