Parramatta are facing a battle to keep boom rookie Apa Twidle.
Sport Confidential can reveal Twidle has attracted interest from three NRL rivals in the wake of his stunning two-try debut against the Wests Tigers on Easter Monday.
Twidle’s management has fielded an inquiry from Phil Gould’s Bulldogs and the Dolphins, while Mal Meninga’s Perth Bears are also watching the young gun closely.
Twidle is off-contract at season’s end and has been offered a development deal by the Eels for 2027.
But the Eels may have to up the ante following Twidle’s brilliant baptism against the Tigers, which has piqued the interest of NRL suitors.
The 21-year-old Kiwi is one of the most versatile players in the league, capable of playing wing, centre and in the halves.

The only play Galvin has is his short pass to Preston. Ever dogs fan will tell you that. Yet Talagi did not look comfortable once. No shoulder in his tackles. As someone said. Panthers defence is actually vulnerable on their edges. But they normally so good with their possession and territory that teams don't get a chance to attack them
Yeah hidden defensive issues because penrith usually hold the ball more and control field position better. But tonight shows he still cant tackle.
And Talagi has had a couple of seasons in 1st grade. He cost Penrith at least 2 tries with his missed tackles.
I am sure if Arthur was the coach no one would blame MON but him.
I would say a swap deal will xerri dogs and Averillo dolphins 🐬.
If he is not retained that'll be the nail in the coffin for any hope under this administration.
If not they've learnt and grown and that'd be exciting
