Coach Carl thrilled as key duo stay at North Wales Crusaders
Reflecting on the positive developments, head coach Forster told CruCast: 'Massive. For me, obviously I'm always going to back my lads and back the players, but I think Eavo's the best nine in the comp.
'I think he's just come in and added a total new dynamic to how we want to play. I'd go as far as saying we're very lucky to have a Sam Wilde in our division, never mind our team.'
Eaves is a product of the St Helens academy system and he also has Super League appearances to his name.
His loan to Whitehaven was followed by moves to Newcastle and Swinton respectively, before he opted to link up with the Crusaders this season.
Having never dropped below the Championship before this season, Eaves has played a pivotal role in North Wales' rise to the top of League One.
Wilde's arrival in North Wales during the off-season certainly turned a few heads and the 29-year-old former Warrington and Widnes second-rower has been one of many standout performers.

Man Utd transfer news: Rasmus Hojlund set for exit as Red Devils in midfielder talks
Manchester United have just a few weeks remaining to get their summer business sorted and it appears that a few deals could be confirmed sooner rather than later Manchester United are in no mood to stand still when it comes to the transfer market. The Red Devils have already backed Ruben Amorim heavily with an eye-watering summer outlay. Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have already sealed moves to Old Trafford and the pressure is now on the trio to perform. And while United 's attack now looks in far better state than it did last year, it leaves a few players with uncertain futures. Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho could all still exit before the transfer window shuts in a matter of weeks. There could also be some more arrivals. Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba has admirers at Old Trafford, but it's thought that he too would cost a huge amount should United make a move. With all of that being said, take a look at all of the transfer news and rumours coming out of the red side of Manchester: Hojlund set for exit talks With the signing of Benjamin Sesko, it appeared that Hojlund was primed for an exit. And that could potentially be closer than first thought. AC Milan have already been linked with a move for the Danish hitman. Boss Max Allegri is reportedly set to play a big role in a potential switch. As per Gazzetta dello Sport, talks between Milan and Hojlund's representatives have already taken place. Hojlund will now have a meeting with boss Allegri, who will attempt to convince the striker to move to the San Siro. Midfielder deal nearly done Amid United's apparent interest in Baleba, they could be set to make room for him with an imminent exit. As per The Athletic, academt graduate Toby Collyer is primed for a move to Championship side West Bromwich Albion. Collyer expressed his desire to leave for more first-team experience earlier this summer, and will join the Baggies on a season-long loan. Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester were both previously linked. It was also suggested that Collyer could have been involved in negotiations for Baleba, but that now appears to be off of the table. Red Devils receive Sancho offer Manchester United have reportedly received an offer from Italian giants AS Roma for misfit winger Jadon Sancho. The winger remains out of favour at Old Trafford following his loan spell at Chelsea. And according to The Times, Roma have now offered to take him on a temporary deal for the season. The Red Devils would reportedly prefer a permanent sale to get his £250,000-a-week wages off of the books. United value Sancho between £20million and £25million. The winger has just one year remaining on his contract at Old Trafford. Join our new MAN UTD WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Manchester United content from Mirror Football.

Nottingham Forest agree deals for James McAtee and Omari Hutchinson
The PA news agency understands the arrangement includes a sell-on fee and City will have a buy-back option on the 22-year-old. The midfielder has come through the youth set-up at the Etihad Stadium but has not been a first-team regular under Pep Guardiola. He made 15 Premier League appearances last season but only three starts, with most of his senior experience coming during two successful loan spells with Sheffield United. He opted not to travel to the United States for the Club World Cup in the summer in order to concentrate on the European Under-21 Championship, a decision which was vindicated as he led England to victory. Forest have also agreed a deal believed to be around £37million for Ipswich forward Omari Hutchinson, PA understands. The move, which would be Forest's club-record transfer, is still to be finalised but Forest are hoping it will go ahead. Forest have agreed a fee for Omari Hutchinson (John Walton/PA) Hutchinson, who was also part of England's Under-21s success, played 32 times for the Tractor Boys as they were relegated to the Championship, scoring three goals and getting two assists. With players needing to be registered by 12pm on Friday to be involved in the weekend action, and neither having a medical booked in as of Thursday night, they are not expected to be at the club in time to feature in Sunday's Premier League opener against Brentford. Forest have signed Switzerland international Dan Ndoye, Botafoga pair Igor Jesus and Jair Cunha while also tying captain Morgan Gibbs-White down to a long-term contract amid alleged unsolicited interest from Tottenham.
