sad thing about this is that Peats is the most likely to go down with an injury.
lol i was thinking the samething.

OK, so do you know if the club was going to re-sign anyway?I'd rather play for no points, but that's just me.

If the club wasn't going to re-sign him then it's the right move IMO.
Backrow.
KE, Scott, Mau, Moeroea, Gower
We could lose Mau probably
Maybe none of those were on enough to get below the cap, besides Scott...

Somebody has to be willing and able to take them. You can't just release them (well, you can, but you have to pay them out, and that goes on the cap).
The player to go is determined by a) salary, b) other clubs willingness to pick up all or the vast majority of that salary at this point in the season and c) the player's willingness to go.
Hench the NRL saying they would help us get cap complaint, they'll take our hooker off our hands and take him to one of their clubs, e.g. Titans.Somebody has to be willing and able to take them. You can't just release them (well, you can, but you have to pay them out, and that goes on the cap).

Methinks he (or at least his value for salary) wasn't in future plans anyway
Parramatta is in negotiations to release hooker Nathan Peats as the club strives to be under the salary cap by Friday night's match against South Sydney.
The move follows advice that the medical retirement of Anthony Watmough will not be enough to bring the club under the cap, which it had exceeded by more than $570,000 this year.
It is understood the NRL will not backdate Watmough's retirement to the beginning of the season, which means it does not reduce the Eels' salaries by enough to bring the team under the cap.
Peats' manager Sam Ayoub has confirmed he received a call from the Eels regarding his client's future at the club.
The Gold Coast Titans are believed to be interested in signing Peats.
Ayoub said he would meet with his client later on Wednesday but for now said Peats remained a contracted Parramatta player.
The Eels have considerable depth at hooker with veteran Issac De Gois, Kaysa Pritchard and Cody Nelson available to step in at number nine.
De Gois and Pritchard could also be moved on to get the club under the cap, but both players' managers say they are yet to be contacted by the Eels.
Parramatta has already off-loaded Ryan Morgan who was picked up by the Melbourne Storm last week.
Anyone who thinks we can make the semis by winning 12/15 is a stupid stupid gullible fool. The nrl have baited us with a sniff of finals football, but it is overwhelmingly against us.
If the club can become cap compliant with only shedding Watmough, then fine. But if they need to shed player/s, then they are incredibly stupid to do so. They need to tell the nrl to go f**k themselves and play for no points. This will hurt the nrl more.
And to all the dimwits who want the club to become cap compliant at any cost should just shut the f**k up and stop putting pressure on the club as this is precisely what the nrl have hoped to achieve.
