Scrum rule change for 2020
NRL: NRL Head of Football Graham Annesley has announced rule changes for 2020.
This could be Parramatta’s $2.5m festive coup – the retention of two unsigned Eels stars on the club’s Christmas wish list.

Just days after re-signing Michael Jennings, Oregon Kaufusi and key playmaker Dylan Brown, Parramatta is now looking to lock down hooker Reed Mahoney and backrower Shaun Lane long-term.

While talks are still progressing, the Eels hope to have the pair — both off contract after next season — re-signed by Christmas or early in the New Year.

Mahoney and Lane are worth about $400,000 a season and have expressed a desire to remain at Bankwest Stadium. And Parramatta has told both players they want them to stay. Both players would be searching for deals spanning up to three years.

  • With both of them under lock and key who is next to snap up???  Nathan Brown???   And then we are pretty much sorted i think.

      • Yes i would, we are in a very good posistion to have a crack at thr title the next 2 or 3 years.

        • You feeling OK Al?  You said something half positive.  R U OK?

          • Lol. Agreed. Go Al.

            • Al must have switched his go to recreational intake because I've never seen him say one thing positive until recently. 

              Either that or he's finally found a  lover lol

              • Lol Queef, I say positive things quite often you have to wipe the jizz off your keyboard to see them. 

                But things are looking real good I just don't want to jinx it.

          • It's a weird feeling i admit.  The Eels are in the best posistion going forward that we have since 2005.

            • Ha! I loved that 2005 team as well. Such a shame it all fell apart and we couldn’t get Tim Smith to fire again.

        • Now any failure is purely at the feet of BA. The entire club is now pulling in the one direction, now there are no excuses for BA or the players. Top 4 is the bare arse minimum for 2020.

"No chance. From all reports Ryles couldnt agree to the release quick enough.  Think the club is pretty pissed off he had his head turned 8 months into a 4 year deal."
