EELS
Off-contract: Bryce Cartwright, Ofahiki Ogden, Samuel Loizou, Waqa Blake, Wiremu Greig.
The Eels are expected to lock down Cartwright and Greig to multi-year contracts. Blake and Loizou won’t be at the club next year. Blake is looking for a shot in the Super League. The club has not taken up the option on Ofahiki Ogden for next season.

Ogden is interesting. Thought they'd keep him for next season at least. Must be promoting the young guys as our back ups.
Shame but not surprising. They've already got enough middle forwards in Paulo, RCG, Offa, Greig and Makatoa. Personally I'd prefer Ogden over Makatoa but I guess Makatoa is already signed and on the payroll, so harder to get rid of.
Ogden didn't really get much chance to play. He's behind Makatoa. It's not all that surprising honestly, which is a shame. Happy to hear about Greig, less so about Cartwright. But it's good to have options.
If your behind Makatoa that tells you enough
Yeah. I don't dislike ogden either. He reminds me a bit of that Broncos player from a few years ago. George Fai?
I mean fair, we don't need any middles but we need backs more lol.
Eels make 'MAJOR MOVE'
😂😂😂.
I'd like to see their definition of a small move.
Greig and Cartwright were must re-signings. I got concerned with Greig being rumoured to be talking to Souths.
Ogden is an odd one though. I believe it is simply money, though he wouldn't of been on much. JJBM and Moretti are cheaper and also the same or better. Probably save 100k letting Ogden walk.
Yep let Ogden go and promote JBBM
