Spencer Leniu says the chance to model his game off evergreen front-rower Junior Paulo - and not the opportunity to become a starting NRL prop - was the main motivation behind his decision to sign with Parramatta.Leniu ended months of speculation last week when he was given an early release from the Sydney Roosters to join the Eels from 2027 onwards.The 26-year-old four-time premiership winner has inked a four-year deal with the Eels where he is set to reunite with former Penrith teammate…

Hooker dilemma 2027: Smith or Edwards

During the off-season i am looking at various positions some questions around them. I started with Lock, now onto Hooker.Coming into 2026, Ryley Smith had the clear running, based on 2025 form, to start in 2026. Tallyn Da Silva, upon his move from the Wests Tigers, was still finding his feet while learning to be an 80 minute Hooker. When Da Silva was signed, the thought process from many here was "We have Smith". Then the realisation was could we see a Grant/Smith combo that Melbourne had for…

Josh Addo-Carr faces 12-match NRL ban and Eels sacking after positive drug test

Josh Addo-Carr is facing at least three months on the sidelines should any club throw him a lifeline following his recent roadside drug test failure. Addo-Carr’s camp is still awaiting formal notification of his B-test sample after he tested positive for cocaine in September. The NRL and the Eels will wait on that result before any sanction is handed down. While Parramatta are yet to make a formal decision on Addo-Carr’s future, it is highly likely that the Eels will reluctantly sack the flying…

And that's despite most of the stadiums holding much larger numbers.With Souths now gone, and Newcastle without a home game, there are no other clubs that will pull big numbers. Imagine a finals series with Parra, Canterbury, St George, Souths, Brisbane, Newcastle, Wests.

Liam Martin and Jacob Preston

On NRL360 last night Braith Anasta stated that Liam Martin had given Penrith until 25 August to start negotiations and sort out his future. It was also stated that Martin is looking at a $1 million paycheck.  Now I doubt Penrith are in a position to offer such cash for Martin with the likes of Yeo and Cleary yet to put pen to paper and the Chiefs and Bears circling being cashed up.  Anasta also said that the Dogs had offered Jacob Preston a 3 year deal worth $1.9 million or as was put $630K a…
