Eels eye Titans' Brian Kelly as Lomax replacement

Parramatta have launched discussions with the Gold Coast to sign strike centre Brian Kelly for the 2026 season.

In the wake of star winger Zac Lomax’s sudden exit from the NRL club’s roster after just 12-months at the club, the Eels are aiming to restock their stretched backline and it’s Kelly who has emerged as a genuine target.

The Eels, Titans and Kelly’s management are in the process of thrashing out the financial aspect of any potential release of the 29-year-old, who is contracted in 2026 to the Gold Coast.

Kelly and his management have been informed by the Titans that the Indigenous All Stars representative won’t be re-signed beyond 2026, prompting serious thought to prolonging his career for 2026 and 2027 at the Eels.

                • Love me an old lady who knows how to rip a hot one...there are more of them than you think and for some reason they really like Randy 😀

                  Also that's an American bong. They are rubbish. Be more patriotic

                • your mother let me into the shower, well at least she said she was your mother?

                  Sorry about the Bong, totally out of my depth, I thought it was a smokey milkshape, well explains why she was licking her chin!

                  • If you are that blind you are gonna end up putting some nasty things in your mouth.

                    Aussie bongs have a brass conepiece and a shotty hole. They are descended from the Orchy, Garden Hose and Can technology passed down from our ancestors.

                    • I see a Youtube doco begging to be made. 

  • Kelly has a great record scoring against us he will add depth and competition for spots 

    Simmo has a patchy injury record. Samrani should be playing backrow exclusively for cup no more centre/wing as that's not his future 

    • If it is depth, it is a great signing. If he starts on the Wing ok let's see how it goes.

      • Won't be on the wing 

        Will provide depth competition 

        If Simmons goes down (likely) you have Rusty to cover wing Jelly in to centre we've had worse.

         

        Hes no tom opiac but he will do

        • So you'd break up JAC and Russell to just move him to the Wing? It might happen but doubt since how well it worked.
