Recent reports suggest that the Collingwood Football Club is making a strategic move to secure one of the Parramatta Eels’ top targets for the upcoming season. While specific details about the player in question remain confidential, this development has raised eyebrows within the rugby league community.

 

The Eels, under the guidance of new coach Jason Ryles, have been actively working to strengthen their roster for the 2025 season. Key targets have included star hooker Jayden Brailey from the Newcastle Knights, Broncos lock Kobe Hetherington, and Tom Weaver from the Titans. The potential hijacking of one of these targets by Collingwood could significantly impact the Eels’ recruitment plans. citeturn0search8

 

This move by Collingwood underscores the competitive nature of player recruitment in the NRL, where clubs are continually vying to secure top talent to enhance their squads. The Eels will need to act swiftly to address this challenge and ensure they can finalize their roster ahead of the new season.

 

As the situation develops, both clubs and their supporters will be keenly watching to see how this potential deal unfolds and what it means for the future of the Eels’ roster.
