Eels interested in Barnett

Posted by LB on February 24, 2026 at 6:24pm

Parramatta are interested in Mitch Barnett. Now at 33 in 2027 and coming off ACL, good idea? Having Paulo and De Belin being 34 and 36 respectively is it good to have that much age? 


Ryles wants a Paulo replacement that can lead the forwards, Barnett is a year younger.31093138864?profile=RESIZE_710x

          Matti is off contract anyway so he's not an option for a trade. 

          Maybe Tuilagi?
