Former Fiji Bati prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard has been one of the outstanding performers for the Eels in the NRL this season.

Campbell-Gillard and the Eels showed they’re genuine title contenders by upstaging last year’s grand finalists the Canberra Raiders despite losing Mitchell Moses to a torn calf.

The Eels were the wooden spoon team in 2018 and two years later they are proving to be one of the premiership front runners.
