Parramatta have tabled Keaon Koloamatangi a monster four-year offer in a bid to prise the representative forward out of South Sydney.
The Roosters are also monitoring the situation, given forward Angus Crichton is off contract and considering a switch to rugby at the end of next season. Perth also inquired about 27-year-old Koloamatangi’s plans, but were told he wants to remain in Sydney.
However, the Eels are shaping as a genuine threat to South Sydney’s bid to retain the former NSW and Tonga star. Sources not authorised to speak publicly told this masthead the Eels have weighed in with a four-year offer worth seven figures a season.
Parramatta officials, including coach Jason Ryles, have met with Koloamatangi and his manager.

Let's wait and see, Chiefy. Who knows.
Interesting but all speculation and the contract amount will be interesting; is he worth the 7 figures?
No!
Parramatta are odds on of getting this slightly above average forward for one reason only , Jim , Mark and the Board have been such epic failure and laughing stock when it comes to recruitment that if they faiil to get KK they will be absolutely hammered by fans and the media so they will offer a outlandish amount just to try and save face .
If the club are signing KK for the pure optics of landing a big fish and saving face, then they would be as silly as we are. The tail wagging the dog. I'd rather some keep throwing Poo Bombs until their final breath than that.
Well the the people who run the club have been a embarrassment when it comes to recruitment and they can't afford to miss out yet again because everyone will come out for them so what do they do to save themselves ? Offer a outlandish amount .
Public perception in the media and world is more bullish outside 1EE and our circles of contacts which is more Doomsday & Fatalistic. Birds of a feather stick together. Even the bookies, Sportsbet, has us 8th with the Sharks. We came second on the RLPA Players in club rankings. We would think that's meaningless for dopes, but to CEOs, Matt Cameron and Jim Sarantinos, it's a positive sign that the coaching, culture and environment within the club is heading in the right direction or at least players perceive that. There were positive signs for us in the last two months. I hope it's heading in the right direction. Time will Tell. I will watch with interest without assuming too much yet...
