Volkman shopped to Super Leage clubs

https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/parramatta-eels-halfback-offered-to-super-league-clubs

 

Ronald Volkman is the latest NRL player to be offered up to Super League clubs heading into 2027.

The halfback is currently out of contract at Parramatta Eels come the end of the season and clubs in the Northern Hemisphere have been alerted to his availability as his representatives look to secure his future.

Aged just 23, Volkman has only made 12 NRL appearances during his career, though five of those have been this year. However, he would be eligible for a Governing Body Endorsement (GBE) which would allow him to make the move to Super League as a result of his appearances in the New South Wales Cup. He played 22 times for the Eels’ reserve grade side last season, scoring eight tries.

It isn’t the first time Volkman has been made available to Super League clubs, having explored the opportunity earlier in his career. However, he eventually joined St George Illawarra Dragons in a botched move after they cancelled his contract as a result of a serious shoulder injury.

He restarted his career with the Eels and has worked his way into the first-team contention. Parramatta have won two of the five games he has played so far this season, scoring three tries.

      • Fletcher is a good goal kicker as well.. These players need to get some opportunities this year. 

    • Volkman speed is not the issue. It's his defence. A good defensive game for him means he stil leaks a try or a break. There are plenty of 6s in the game with Volkman speed that are guns 

  • Maybe his shoulder is that bad . In attack his been great. Does that mean Galvin's coming back?  Burton? Or another big fish?

  • I think it's quiet clear that eels don't think Volkman is the long term 6 so he probably wants that role in the super league. Fletcher will be the halfback in nsw cup next year. So will need a back up 6 next year and hopefully experienced.

  • Moses and talentina with Josh backup half. Happy with that as long as we get a genuine backup halfback to cover Moses rep/injurirs

"How anyone can have sympathy for this guy truly amazes.
He's been a dud for the last 4 years, showing no heart for Parra and i can't wait  for his salary for $700 a year to finish come October."
