As the title reads.
They may have lost Reed Mahoney, but the Eels have landed an impressive forward and have their eye on a Raiders star 👀

"If you're not first, you're last. We were never going to win a comp in 25. Are we on a better path than.the previous decade, I'd say it's early days but yes."
"Mate c'mon. He's 48 years old and 20kg over weight. Maybe Hindy could get a start?"
"Mate it's absolutely cheating. It's giving his team and unfair advantage as to make the ball difficult to grip giving the defence a huge advantage. It slows the passing game and also there a good chance the opposition knock on "

That's hilarious. What a joke
On 2 October 2021, Ogden was arrested by NSW Police for alleged drug possession. The matter was then referred onto the NRL Integrity Unit.[9]
Yep. More likely to be playing for Longbay than Parra.
A minor drug possession charge is hardly prison time.
Manu Ma'u did a lot worse but he turned out ok for us.
Spot on Coryn. I was fortunate enough to talk to Manu while watching a Reggies game at Ringrose Oval shortly after he signed with SL in the UK. Manu expressed his very real disappointment that he had to leave Parramatta as he had a genuine love for the club and said he believed it was "his family forever club". We spoke about how important it was to be given a second chance "to make good an opportunity God given".
I told him, how proud I was to hear him speak of the young men who he is now able to encourage to make better choices than we had both made when younger. He acknowledge the role that Jesus played in turning his life around from being a tough guy to mentoring young men who looked up to you for the wrong reasons and I shared some very similar experiences in great detail that I'd had 40 years earlier myself. He spoke softly with a real humility and gratitude that I had approached him to acknowledge his good works and to encourage him to continue to mentor young men who needed to hear that message from someone like him.
As I wished him and his family well for their future in the UK it was clear that his face had softened and I thanked him again for his bold confession. He thanked me for my testimony, that he said was very encouraging for him. I reckon If Manu Mau was told that Ofahiki Ogden was heading for Parramatta under the mentoring of BA? He would have a big warm smile on his face.
Nice story, certainly one of my favoutie eels players. Loved the way he played the game. Was a shame to see him leave.
On the surface it doesn't seem very inspiring but with BA's track record of turning troubled and sub par players into good first graders it could turn out to be better than it appears.
NRL 2022: Bailey Simonsson could be headed to Eels as Raiders await Nick Cotric decision
The NRL winger market has suddenly heated up with Raiders flyer Bailey Simonsson and Bulldogs star Nick Cotric at the centre of an intriguing battle between three clubs.
The Eels have emerged as frontrunners to sign Raiders winger Bailey Simonsson in a move that would result in Nick Cotric returning to the Green Machine.
The domino of transfer moves can be revealed in addition to the news that Parramatta have signed former Bulldogs forward Ofahiki Ogden.
Ogden - a hard-running front-rower with 45 NRL-games - has signed a train and trial contract with the Eels.
Ogden’s agent Luke Lombardi confirmed to News Corp the 25-year-old would start with Parramatta on Monday after impressing Eels officials at a medical assessment last week.
“It’s a great move for Ofahiki, he had a number of options, but he feels this opportunity with Parramatta gives him a great chance to further develop his game,’’ Lombardi said.
“He’ll start on Monday and hit the ground running.’’
Let go by the Bulldogs at the end of the 2021 season, Ogden has kept in shape by training with highly-respected sports physician Justin Lang while also committing to several sparring sessions with Paul Gallen.
The next signature the Eels are aiming to secure is Simonsson - with the Raiders eyeing Cotric in-return.
Ultimately, the Bulldogs will determine if the transfers can be secured.
The Bulldogs are eager to offload Cotric from their stressed salary cap.
How much Canterbury are willing to contribute towards the release of Cotric to return to Canberra will dictate if he and Simonsson are on the move in 2022.
Nick Cotric could be headed back to the nation’s capital.
It’s believed the Dogs are only willing to contribute $150,000 towards Cotric’s salary for 2022 - a number short of the level of cap-relief the Raiders would need to fit the former NSW Origin winger into their cap.
The Raiders will only sign Cotric if his arrival is without major implications to their current cap.
Secondly, Canberra would only make the move if Simonsson - who has two years left on his contract - is content to join Parramatta, which it’s understood the 23-year-old is.
Originally from Mona Vale, Simonsson is interested in returning to Sydney to be closer to family.
The 45-gamer is viewed by the Eels as a valuable inclusion following the departure of outside backs Blake Ferguson and Michael Oldfield.
The charges were dismissed.
Are we becoming the half way house for troubled young men, that have found police trouble. Our retention and signing committee love the bargain basement bad guys.
