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.

      • LB, keon prefers Front row over Back rower or lock.   Thats a fact

        • Lock is where he should be

          • Prop is his best spot. he does not have the passing game to play lock. I do not think people realise how good our forward depth is going be in 2027. Just need to ensure we have that alpha forward (Kolomantangi).

          He said he would do what's best for team but his preferred spot is Back-row.

    • If Uncle Nik really wants him he will get him but they are so stacked with middles.

  • Not gonna say it's a done deal, but it's fcuking close.

    • Analyst... please elaborate a little... we close to an Eels deal dare I say 😂

    • fingers crossed! i hope your sauce is on the money

    • Lol 😁
