The Parramatta Eels have upped the ante in a last ditch bid to retain gun hooker Reed Mahoney but there is a view Canterbury-Bankstown have blown them out of the water.

The Eels initially low-balled Mahoney with a two-year extension worth around $900,000 while the Bulldogs went straight into serious negotiations with a four-year $2.4 million deal.

So go from 2 years 450K to up it to 3 years 1.5mil

if they go with 1.8 mil 600K i think that is fair and enough.

Getting tired of the sports media journalists. What a boring life they must live looking for more Eels stories.

  Give it a rest mate. Honestly. If they didn't like playing under BA he'd already be gone.
