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.

Wet dreams
EA, any backs realistic chance of getting regular NRL this year? Or at least a year off for most?
Seuseu no. Sorovi and Bloomfield start the year in SG ball. So for them, they are a chance as long as they stay injury free and develop well. Plenty of 19 year olds from SG ball do end up making their nrl debut the same year.
I'd love this plus keeping Penisini and Samrani. Seuseu seems amazing but would be wild if he's first choice at 18 in 2028.
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
Notice eels made him a priority where as Newcastle has him last on their list to pay. Big difference lol
He is edging towards Parra because we are probably throwing $1mil base plus ratchets versus Newcastle $800k offer plus ratchets. Needs to be done, we need this signing.
100% needs to be done he is a weapon. A lot of people on social media saying we are paying too much but unfortunately due to previous management we need to pay extra ,This signing will change our club. If this gets done we need a winger to compliment him because our stocks in the backs isn't great atm. But this would be the kickstart the club needs.
You build it ,they will come. Or as stingy Jim sarantinos once said "tell him his dreaming we play money ball."
I don't even think it's overs anymore. Seems like every club has multiple roster spots on a mil or over now. We have the one player on $1.5m. Still to this day unsure on where the money is going but I would believe 2 significant signings in our outside backs is achievable. Fuck it, throw a mil at Hudson Young too, see what sticks.
