The Parramatta Eels are urgently seeking NRL player reinforcements to revive their struggling season, exploring trades and loans.
The Parramatta Eels are frantically combing the NRL market for reinforcements as they scramble to resuscitate a season that's flatlining before their eyes.
The Daily Telegraph reported that on Monday, the Eels management and their recruitment team spent their day scouting through NRL rival club's rosters, weighing up the prospect of snapping up available players or bringing someone in on a loan arrangement.
Player agents have been quick to smell blood, reaching out to Parramatta to peddle the services of clients who've been waiting for an opportunity to play this season or seeking a bigger opportunity.
A sweep of the market suggests the Eels are targeting players like Braden Uele from the Sharks, Manly's Blake Wilson, Canterbury centre Bronson Xerri, Knights outside back James Schiller, and Canberra's Matthew Timoko and Chevy Stewart.
