Eels edge ahead in Best race

Parramatta have emerged as the frontrunners to land Bradman Best, with multiple sources indicating the Newcastle centre is increasingly likely to join the Eels beyond 2027.

Best has been identified as a priority target for Parramatta, who are looking to bolster Jason Ryles' backline with an established representative star.

While a deal is yet to be confirmed, the Eels are understood to be in the box seat despite Newcastle's efforts to retain him with a lucrative extension.

  • Few rumblings this afternoon that a formal deal has been in place since Mid September. 

    • Isn't that illegal tho? Scary. Should this wild public  theory be sacked?

      • It's 2026 & it's the NRL. Flaws a plenty. Just like how Farnworth reportedly agreed to join the Chooks in April of this year. 

        •  My understanding was can be discussed with player but money talk no go and I construed a formal offer to include the 'big' topic.

          • They really can't stop clubs talking to opposition players, but certainly can't sign contracts until 1 November. 

      • We're a big club so who cares, we need rings and what do the big clubs do. They never follow the rules. Time we go buy some stars and be like the roosters.

  • Pleaseeeee🥺🥺🥺

  • By 2028/29

  • Every single potential signing has to have 10 articles before we actually sign/don't sign the player. Hope he doesn't pull a Galvin on us

"Moses is one player, he's not going to win us a comp on his own. He's been picked for both Origin and Australia so he's obviously no slouch.
But... given Parra are now on a true rebuild journey, I don't think Moses is our best option given we're…"

"You're right. If we are only using Moses to get us out of trouble every set, how can he take control of the game? Build a solid platform and he will shine."
