The Parramatta Eels are on the verge landing a blue and gold re-signing coup by extending the contract of front row forward Reagan Campbell-Gillard until the end of 2025.

Despite speculation the Eels roster management strategy was in danger of imploding, RCG is poised to sign a three-year extension worth more than $2.4 million as Parramatta set about resolving having 13 of their top 30 players off contract.

In a positive sign for the Eels, RCG will extend his stay by a further three seasons with the Eels still benefiting from premiers Penrith chipping in $250,000-a-season for the next three years.

Campbell-Gillard, 28, has recaptured the form that saw him break into the NSW State of Origin side and Australian Kangaroos team since switching to the Eels in 2020 under coach Brad Arthur.

  • Amongst the best  forwards in the game. So who are we losing to pay the upgrades of RCG and others about to come, like Ice and Mahoney.

  • Great work Reg!!
    How is Penrith still chipping in $250k for the next three years? Holy moly!!! 

    • Lol love when I read that!!! 

      • Best Feeling aye. Still IDK, no players hold good form over 5 years

        • Geez, you have low expectations of players

      • Wash your mouth out , apparently Gus is a salary cap genius personally responsible for their 2021 premiership. 

      • Hey he was happy at the Panthers till Ivan arrived at the joint 

        • I bet he was . Look at the coin Gus put him on.  Robin Williams would probably still be with us if Gus had put him on that deal. . 

    • Interesting, I'd say he has activated his option, with the club topping it up. Smart bit of business by the Eels, and it weakens the Panthers 

      • He told the club that he was not exercising the PO on his contract applied for 2023, I understand that once he did that he was left in the open, the club also dropped their CO on his contract for 2024.
