Parramatta coach Jason Ryles has just 10 rounds of football to win over brilliant five-eighth Dylan Brown next season.
Brown was the Eels' best player in 2031, taking over the playmaking reins when star halfback Mitchell Moses was injured.
The Kiwi-born pivot is under contract until 2031, but has a unique get out clause for 2026 midway through next season if he is not happy with the new-look Eels.
If the new Southern Orcas Christchurch bid succeeds. Brown will be a massive marquee signing. I have no doubt he would want to go back to NZ for this new club.
While the contract's option appeared to end in 2031, Brown has the chance to either not re-up or renegotiate in 2026 and 2028, with deal locking him definitely through to the end of 2025.
"I will say that is a pretty poor 2027 squad and with only 9 spots available with more to re-sign, dear lord.
But i would lean on the departing team. Mainly due to the spine."
"I saw that this moring (UK time), yes. But we'll never know if he cost us 50k more than he would have a few weeks ago. Same for Apa, I think he would have signed a 1y NRL contract for next year."
"The 2026-2031 stuff was player options. His contract ended at the end of 2025, meaning he was free to talk to rivals in November 2024. The options only came into play if he activated them, and he didn't. Matterson's contract also ended in 2025 but…"

I think Parra would have known if his a chance of
leaving anytime soon, if it was true I don't think they would have let go of Talagi they would've promised him the 6 in a years time.
If he goes, he goes.
Moses is more important.
Meh
Nup
he will only go to the warriors if he was to leave
I agree with that.
They're the only ones left that'd be silly enough to throw Parramatta money at him.
