The Parramatta Eels have got a $6 million recruitment battle looming in the form of trying to retain off-contract halves Dylan Brown and Mitch Moses.
Off the back of the Eels September success of powering all the way to the NRL grand final, the blue and golds now face the reality check of having rival clubs lined up to try and pick their roster apart.
Brown’s performance for the Kiwis in the World Cup semi-final against Australia has guaranteed the five-eighth can command in excess of $1 million per season on the NRL’s open market while halfback Moses is also in a similar position.
