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.

"Rooster monitoring" Of course they are.
They want Tino. This would be a Smokey for them.
Fuck roosters the greedy duckers. They won't a comp because of their greed. Look at Penrith hey won comps based on juniors.
Roosters have in the past, plenty of times.

the perfect Paulo replacement! and would be great for our bunch of youngens coming through, who people on here seem to rate. i sadly dont get to attend training sessions etc as i live in the ACT, so very much enjoy reading the updates provided.
Wonder the chances of even getting him for 2026? (if we even actually get him).
There is no way he stays at the Bunnies , Bennet will never allow a club he coaches to pay a prop that much under salary cap conditions.
He's reiterated this stance many times , it's a shootout between the Eels and Dragons.
If you look at travel time, contract value , facilities , strength of roster and coaching staff Parramatta make more sense on the balance of things.
I see Koloamatangi as a high rate worker, something every club needs but he doesn't bring million dollar impact.
Is he a momentum changer? I don't think so .
Id be more then happy to have him on the roster and if we've front loaded contracts it should be easy enough to absorb but from a salary cap perspective it's overs for the type of player he is.
Im always wary of players moving clubs when they love playing for the one their currently at, rarely do you get value for money and that includes Debellin.
If they have the right mindset and want to prove a point it's negated but still a concern.
