Penisini could be more vital to the Eels now that Lomax is goneskies, surely he's now in their top 17?

Code sports has us 6th on their power rankings at this stage of pre-season:
In a double boost, Luke Metcalf not only re-signed until the end of 2028 but started running as part of his ACL rehab putting him on track for a round one return. Blues prop Mitch Barnett (ACL) will increase his load over the preseason but with heavy Pacific Championship representation coach Andrew Webster won’t get his hands on a full squad until mid-December, and seasoned campaigners like Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and James Fisher-Harris, won’t back until the new year. Webster has a settled roster with only fringe players like Bunty Afoa and Edward Kosi farewelled. Alofiana Khan-Pereira is also already on board.
Burning issue: Retention. Metcalf is locked in but Webster has some huge roster calls in coming months. Ten players, including Chanel Harris-Tavita, Te Maire Martin and Marata Niukore are on the open market. Webster also has rising playmakers Jett Cleary and rugby convert Harry Inch at his disposal which could impact decisions made over Harris-Tavita Martin and Tanah Boyd.
It’s a big pre-season for: Morgan Gannon. The former Leeds Rhinos backrower, with 68 Super League games under his belt, has plenty of potential but will battle the likes of Jackson Ford, Tanner Stowers-Smith and Jacob Laban for a round one bench spot.
Gains: Alofiana Khan-Pereira (Titans), Haizyn Mellars (Rabbitohs), Morgan Gannon (Leeds Rhinos), Jye Linnane (Knights )
Losses: Bunty Afoa (Tigers), Tom Ale (Panthers), Edward Kosi (Rabbitohs) Kalani Going (Panthers), Moala Graham-Taufa (Rabbitohs),
