Volkman re-signs

According to Danny weidler 2 year 500k per year deal. But he also says in the very next sentence that those terms could be false just what he's heard.

Edit: The club has now confirmed

Volkman Commits to Eels Until 2028
The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce Ronald Volkman has re-signed with the Club for a further two seasons, extending his stay in Blue and Gold until the end of the 2028 NRL season.
 Volkman’s form this season has seen him establish himself as a key contributor, with the talented playmaker continuing to build confidence and consistency under Head Coach Jason Ryles.

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O'Neill said Volkman's re-signing was a deserved reward for his dedication and performances.
"The positive environment which Jason Ryles has created at the Club has provided some stability for Ronald where he is playing his best football of his career.​

"He has earned this opportunity with some wonderful individual and team performances, and he will only continue to improve," O'Neill said.
Volkman has enjoyed an outstanding season recording 10 try assists from 17 appearances and adds further stability to the Eels' roster as the Club continues to build towards the future under Ryles' leadership.

        • Agree LB, very happy he is staying. I'm even more excited to the fact the dogs miss out on him because they would ruin him and Ronnie deserves better. Great character and the players around him love him.

      • Seeing how they low-balled Preston initially and their tight salary cap, I doubt the Dogs would have offered more. Uncle Gus would have offered a development contract plus a succulent Chinese meal every week 

        • Maybe fight for a starting spot but no guarantee he'd get that either. Dogs desperate lol 

    • That is good value, well done Parra, really happy with that.

      Personally, i'd love to see him kick on and become a great half and earn a big contract rise for himself.

    • @ poppa, get that up ya.

      • @JC Context?

        This is yours JC, is that what you are talking about?

        "I can't wait to see next seasons draw so I can load up on who the eels play in the last round to win the wooden spoon.
        2024 tigers = spoon
        2025 knights = spoon
        2026 dragons = spoon."

  • Although it is unlike the eels to get a deal done so fast with all the media bashing them over luai. I'm impressed lol 

  •  $250k would be near double what he is currently on, still a bargain and still gives us time and flexibility to upgrade him in the future.

    •  Guess it is a guaranteed 500k, even if other clubs like dogs offered him 1 year 350k you'd still take the 500k guaranteed cause of injury chances 

    • Maybe has a clause to possibly increase year 2 (plus) if they decide he is the 5/8 going forward.
