EELS SEARCH FOR SEMI REPLACEMENT

North Queensland are in danger of losing yet another of their home-grown talents, with Parramatta circling winger Kyle Feldt.Market Watch can reveal the Eels have cast their net in search of a winger and Feldt sits high on their list.The loss of Feldt would be another blow for the Cowboys, who lose Kalyn Ponga to Newcastle next season and co-captain Matt Scott could join him.Looking for a replacement for rugby-bound Semi Radradra next year, the Eels have formed an early shortlist.While Feldt, who was in the frame for a Queensland Origin debut last year, is a major target, he’s not the only one in the mix to replace Radradra.Wests Tigers flyer David Nofoaluma is also on the Eels’ radar for 2018.A Campbelltown junior, Nofoaluma told foxsports.com.au earlier in the year that it will be difficult for the Tigers to keep all their locals with the likes of James Tedesco and Aaron Woods also off-contract.“It’s contract time, what do you do? All you can do is play your best footy and take the best option possible,” Nofoaluma said.“My focus is having a better season than last year, and that’s all I can ask for. What happens in the future happens.“Of course (I’d like to stay). I started at the Tigers. But things come. I’d like to stay but let’s see what happens.”Nofoaluma, 23, made his City Origin debut last year and averages a try every 1.8 NRL games.Feldt, 25, is a premiership winner who can goal kick. He averages a try every 1.3 NRL games.

"Luais a great example. Many on here will say he's shit and overated , blah blah blah, but he's leaps and bounds more effective than Brown on a week to week basis . But dare say Browns overated and wow, won't you go down like a lead baloon. It's…"

"Letting a good talent go, well he is going anyway why not get something in return as oppose to letting him leave for nothing. Can fix our backline issue. We need one Winger, maybe a second to compete. Simonsson has shown he can do a decent job. Get…"

"Asomua may not be speedy but he would be that workhorse out the back we are lacking. He suits how BA wants to play, he would help those forwards. I would try hard to get Savage, i know it is a pipe dream but desperation can hit, Asomua can replace…"

  I was talking Feldt.
  Nofoaluma is the lesser of the two imo, but would I'd take both.

  Both would be great I'm a big fan of Nofoaluma but Felt kicks goals so either one would do

  Agreed, Feldt is all class and is a good goal kicker.

Looks like the cap is finally catching up with NQ. What they couldn't hide the invoices any longer? Welcome to the real world Cowboys, Parra have been shedding good players for years.

Feldt for his crazy kick offs.
If he does move to the right and Hoff to the left, then Taka will feed him for days.
