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.

100 percent mate i still don't understand why he was allowed back in. Made out he wasn't aware lol but hes a liar. He will destroy the saints with his favourtism with his son.
Yet the thing is he was actually banned for the emails not the ASADA issues lol.
Peptides are good for you!
Flanno can coach but he is not overly liked. I've told this before but my brother knew a former Dragons player and said he liked Griffin but hated Flanagan with a passion.
warning
Dragons coach Shane Flanagan has had his coaching, character and crowning glory – Cronulla’s 2016 premiership win – torn down by a man who played a crucial role in that historic title, James Maloney.
Word has filtered through from Brisbane of Maloney’s brutal take-down of Flanagan, highlighting the tension between the two.
Maloney was speaking at a fundraising lunch for the Sydney-based Pass It On Clothing charity at the Port Office Hotel in Brisbane on the Friday of Magic Round. He was there alongside former NRL players Michael Buettner, Jeremy Latimore and Dallas Johnson.
Maloney was asked on stage about the best coaches he had played under, and he offered Craig Bellamy (Storm), Trent Robinson (Roosters) and Ivan Cleary (Panthers), while saying Flanagan had taught him “f--- all”.
“I didn’t learn a thing off him,” Maloney said.
Maloney also told the interviewer to, “ask Flanno how he felt being my assistant in 2016”, leaving the room of 140 footy fans in stitches.
We asked Maloney about his relationship with Flanagan, and he said he had nothing to do with him.
“Book me for a function and I’ll tell you even more,” he said.
Flanagan did not respond when contacted for comment.
Fair enough
just wouldn't go away shameless
