In the lead-up to the highly anticipated trial game between the Eels and the Raiders, Brad Arthur, the mastermind behind the blue and gold army, is honing in on the essential ingredient for success - team unity.
Building on a season tainted by setbacks in 2023, where injuries, suspensions, and representative duties tested the squad's resilience, Arthur understands the significance of fostering a close-knit group.
Much like a game of chess, where every move can make or break the outcome, Arthur knows that the unity of his players will be instrumental in conquering the fierce opposition that awaits them on the field.
As the season opener looms, the Eels' coach is instilling a sense of connection within his troops, forging a bond as strong as the Great Barrier Reef.
With the echoes of past glories echoing in their ears, Arthur's men will strive to etch their names in the annals of Rugby League history, showing the world the true meaning of mateship.
