EELS ASK DRAGONS FOR SU’A IN 2026!
Reports circulating that the Parramatta Eel’s have made new discussions with the Dragon’s to allow Eel’s new signing for the 2027 season Jayden SU’A join the club early in 2026, off the back of many injuries this is a call for help.
Parramatta Eel’s General Manager of football, Mark O’Neill has stated yesterday in a stadium tour with fans that Eel’s are actively looking at options before the June 30 deadline.
Mark was also asked about Herbie Farnworth, which he indicated that it’s something the club could look at or would love to have on board.

To get him it'll be $900k minimum. Is he worth it? In the scheme of where we are? Yep. I never thought I'd say a Centre is worth it but he is the best in the comp by some margin.
fuck even if it's 1M I am giving to him.
I would never think of the day i would agree a Centre is worth $1mil. But i am over not having good players i say why the hell not.
hence my fuck it attitude lol.
And as some have pointed out, when your struggling to attract elite talent sometimes you have to pay overs for the first 1 or 2 and then it should come easier.
Right now we keep saying they are not worth that level money/years (i.e. Barnett/Kolomatangi). But, since the salary requires us to use a certain amount, we probably end up giving juniors/fringe players more money than they deserve. So might as well just overpay and give those lower level players what they deserve.
Offer Herbie a monster deal who cares we have to start paying overs to get a few quality players to the club journey men and cast offs just don't cut it our backline is the worst in the comp and slow as a turtle come on Parra please do something the fans have suffered enough
Who cares what we pay for Herbie, the club needs a big name and circuit breaker to attract others.
Yep, sometimes you need to pay large overs, and a 8 year deal to get that circuit breaker that attracts other players
💯
I dig this love/hate relationship with "paying overs" by our R&R Experts.
Don't pay overs for Russell? Hopeless mgmt. With Russell two games back from HIA and some extremely ordinary moments in both games, off with his head and oh yeah barely a peep about whether mgmt was hopeless not to have paid overs.
Do pay overs for a player? Sheet that Lomax fellow screwed us? Foran did too. Paying overs is what you do when your club is shit say the R&R Experts, not what you do if you're competent mgmt.
I endorse all R&R Expert's Opinions and my only caveat is that non-contradiction would be nice.
PS: throw the (accounting) book at the likes of Farnworth or Xerri or Bostock, but don't then cite paying overs as bad if you endorsed paying overs (also known as non-contradiction)
We have absolutely no chance of not paying overs. Our position on table, current roster and new players seals it well and truly. Yes, accept it all.
