The Parramatta Eels have confirmed the departures of nine players following their grand final loss to the Panthers.
The likes of Reed Mahoney (Canterbury Bulldogs), Isaiah Papalii (Wests Tigers), Ray Stone (Dolphins), Oregon Kaufusi (Cronulla Sharks), Tom Opacic (Hull KR), Marata Niukore (New Zealand Warriors) were already known to be leaving at the seasons end to take up deals at other clubs.
On Wednesday, however, the Eels released Solomone Naiduki, Hayze Perham and David Hollis. Perham was somewhat of a surprise having made 16 appearance for the blue and gold. He along with Naiduki and Hollis will now need to find a home in 2023.
