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.

Personally I think we should be playing Papalii on the wing. Play a similar role to Faalago when he played on the wing for Melbourne. Papalii is the future along with Iongi not Kelly
I reckon Joash would go ok on the wing. Only downside is his size. But he's very fast, elusive and his defence isn't too bad.
How can they sign him for the 2026 season
Can't read the newspaper article unless your a paid subscriber
Nooo
If we lose KK to Dragons then yeah I will be massively pissed that they can convince a player to go there over us.
If he stays at Souths so be it as he loves it there etc. but Dragons? That would be embarrassing. The joint has two homes, with no money.
Plus flanno is a shit coach. Won his comp cheating with peptides
I will never understand why he was allowed back in. What do you have to do to just get the boot?
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.
