THE LURKER Eels continue their clean out

Another player who looks destined to move to England is rangy Eels utility Brad Takairangi.

I rate Takairangi - he’s big and strong and can do things with the ball, as well as play either centre of second row.

But, like many of the Parramatta squad, he didn’t enjoy the best of season’s in 2018 and has been earmarked as excess baggage.

The Eels are having a clean out after collecting the wooden spoon, with Kirisome Auva'a (retired), Cameron King (released), Suaia Matagi (Huddersfield), Beau Scott (retired) and Tony Williams (released) already gone and several more likely to follow.

  • Takairangi is past it, and seems to be on a fast downward slope. For mine he doesn't deserve another contract and if we can offload him it will only benefit the club
    • Yep agree, Hopefully we can have a fresher squad come 2019.

    • Chief, i think he has alot to offer but at the same time he if he goes i am not unhappy either. The issue though is that if they are letting go of so many players, especially ones who can fill so many positions then they need to sign some new blood as well.

      At the moment we have signed 3 players and let go of 6

      • Yes agreed and no doubt 4-5 will be included from Flegg and ISP.

        • If that's the direction they want to take, that's fine. Promote juniors and stick with it. We won't win alot of games but we will be investing in the future

  • Very good news.

  • Good news.
  • Was off contract anyway yes?
    • No,   end of 2019

  • Watched Taka closely throughout 18, and he was by far the laziest defender in the team. I'm not sure how this clown achieved a two year deal. Shocking recruitment processes
