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.
"It was absolute gut wrenching watching that. Thoughts are with you Jai and family.
It reinforces to me, that you should live life to its fullest whilst you can and enjoy things that are dear to you. You never know when it's about to be taken."
"Wow Parrafan. Thank you for showing your emotional side. Just shows at the end of the day we are all human and can look out for one another when needed."
"Nice blog. All best wishes to Jai Arrow. That press conference was tough to watch. In the end it's just footy, just a game, which it's OK to be passionate about, but no so much that we stop identifying with basically the human condition. "Our"…"
"Makes you think how short life really is, when I heard he had MND I broke down. Just feeling for him and his family. Fight hard Jai mate whole parramatta and Rugby League community is with you."

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.
