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.

I agree, Ryles would be a key attraction, because it's his strategies, like Cleary, driving the footy programme. But are the Panthers in the KK hunt despite losing more talent up front?
I'd be disappointed if the optics of "winning at the recruitment stakes" is a central theme, regardless of that Black List Of Misses we tattoo on our bosoms of how crap some fans think we are. Only if KK is the right fit and we think we're getting value out of the deal. I'm not sure about the value, but he's a good buy as long as he puts in and is committed to the cause.
I'm still not confident, because I don't know what KK really wants. If it's money, that is a red flag. The Titans haven't done all that well recruiting big names. 13th, 14th, 14th, 16th last four years. How did Tino, Fifita, Brimson, Campbell, Fermour, et all and all their pace working out?
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
PLease do Franky, as we have heard the issues that this can bring you! And us....
isn't there a ban on social media now for U/16's.....
🤣🤣
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?
