Eels table mammoth four-year deal for Rabbitohs star

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/eels-table-mammoth-four-year-deal-for-rabbitohs-star-20251210-p5nmci.html

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.

        • When your big game hunting like we did earlier for Galvin and now KK and we can't get them across the line there's something missing there.Ill  be interested to see how this plays out.

          • Not sure, we are judging him just on price? if we had KK in 2022, we may not have had the "squeemish" response we had to Fish and Co. Also KK seems to be a modern style that can play Middle and Edge, all forward packs are heading that way and look out if your side is "light on" with those types.

            I was laughingly thinking where Paas would have played in Rugby if he went in that direction, half jokingly I said he could have played in the centres......just thought he would be wasted pushing around the rucks.

            The interesting part is do we have enough money to pay him up front and get him across for this year? i.e. what will Souths do to retain him, we could gift them Matto, he would be an interesting challenge for Bennett at 400k if we could have KK now?

  • as iv said all along I think we land him. Wouldn't surprise me if he stayed at south's but I think parra sign soon. 

  • Some on other sites saying its a done deal.

    • wouldn't jinx it but yeah Parra is a great spot for him, team on the rise and he's the focal point of the pack. 

    • I'll keep my dick firmly in my pants until its official Cheif.

      Keep something left for the Mrs tonight 😂😂

      • LOL

"Good signing and the price is fair, considering haas and tino want 1.4, keon at 1mill sounds about right. I think once the tv deal is anounced 1mill for his calibre would be good value"
