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.
"Many factors you got to consider. You are only looking at an age pool of players under 21. when you are filling 14 jersey Flegg teams (doesn't include the qld version of the comp too) there is not enough talent in that age pool to have high quality…"
"I saw him for NSW Funa-Iuta and found his movement lacked and wasn't agile enough for the edge, missed a couple of tackles against more speedy runners. I can see him as a middle.
Talagi I think you're right about that he could just stay in Flegg…"
"Funa Luta was probably our best player. He is developing really well. Works his ass off today in defence which is something many others didn't do today. But I will maintain this again, he will be a better middle than edge from what I have seen. Just…"

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.
