Parramatta's chances of signing Willie Tonga have lengthened in recent days with the Sharks weighing in with a massive bid for the centre that is believed to be in excess of $400k per season.
Sources indicate that the Eels are not willing to increa
I've been keeping an eye on a Glenn Buttris' contract negotiation because he struck me as a good fit with our roster being a excellent defender and able to cover nine and 14. However, reports coming out of Canberra suggest that he is looking likely a
I fear that Parramatta had long settled on Ben Roberts as their five-eighth for next year. I fear there is going to be pressure for early wins next year at whatever the cost and that we may opt for the safe option and go into the off
So I'm picking up Fyno's statement here about what some other centres in the NRL are paid and I guess the suggestion that it warrants us throwing more coin at Tonga? So I'm interested in what people think centres are worth?
For the second week in a row, Parramatta have been downed in extra time going down 8 to 7 against the Bulldogs, despite Jarryd Hayne showing in the second half of the match that he is going to be a world-class five-eighth if he sticks with that posit

With one second to go Parramatta held a six point lead but then a try after the siren
It's kind of hard to believe, but if we win against the Pennies we'll move to 17 points and it's highly probably we could be one point outside the eight again. Considering we've only one about a third of our games that's staggering.
Penrith second-rower Trent Waterhouse is in slight doubt to play Parramatta tomorrow, due to a knee injury. The Eels have Jeff Robson likely to make his return from a hamstring injury.
"We need speed to combat Manly's outside backs, not size.
Samrani has been doing a good job on the edge, I'd leave him there to keep a good thing going, plus Samrani is a bit slow defending at center or wing and get's burnt easily. Bring Papalii in…"
"Clint, one thing i will say that is in Penisini's favour is he is only 23 in July. He is still very young and played a lot of FG for his age. His body only stopped developing and most players hit their prime in mid 20's. Doesn't excuse his poor form…"
