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.

Parramatta’s under-pressure Roster Management Committee has since sharpened their pencil with a three-year offer close to $1.5 million but arch rivals Canterbury-Bankstown remain steadfast Mahoney is the long-term no.9 the Bulldogs want.

"You might as well add Bloomfield. He was selected on the wing however his school withdrew him from origin to focus on union which sucks. At least next year that won't be an issue as he will finish up with school. Just hope he picks league over union."

"Our 2023 SG ball team won the comp and has had Talagi, Sanders, Arthur, Tuivita, Pryke, Guymer and Twiddle all make their nrl debut. That's a lot of players. However I actually think this 2026 SG ball group has more talent in them than the 2023 side…"

So go from 2 years 450K to up it to 3 years 1.5mil
Basically 50K more a year? right well done guys
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.

But surely Mahoney would be happy to take unders to play for SuperCoach BA?? Because the boys love playing by for him.............

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