Forget Jarryd Hayne, the Parramatta Eels want Nathan Peats to return to the club

PARRAMATTA will consider luring the club’s former NRL hooker Nathan Peats back to the club, according to Eels chief executive Bernie Gurr.

But he insists no such move has been made to bring fellow Gold Coast player Jarryd Hayne back home.

Wednesday marks one year to the day since Parramatta were stripped of 12 premiership points for breaching the salary cap, and were forced to offload a number of players.

Peats was the most high profile of those discarded members, but is off contract at the end of the year at the Gold Coast after signing a one-and-a-half year deal on leaving the Eels.

And Gurr said the club is considering attempting to bring him back.

“Nathan Peats has been on the radar for our club as well,” Gurr said. “We’re looking at our roster at the moment and we’re always looking at our roster to try and improve it. Nathan’s name has been tossed up.”

The Eels are in need of a hooker and Peats would be seen as a perfect fit. Isaac de Gois is on the wrong side of 30 and is struggling due to concussion, while Kaysa Pritchard has played just 80 minutes out of dummy-half just once this year.


Peats had an immediate impact when he arrived at the Eels in 2014 and is seen as a contender for the State of Origin hooker’s role.

Both parties were also unhappy to split last year, as the 26-year-old became the unlucky man to be off-contract in 2016 as the Eels had to find their way back under the cap to compete for competition points again.

However they are cashed up heading into the 2018 season.

Meanwhile, Gurr said he had not received any approach to bring Hayne back to the club.

The former Eels fullback has an option in his favour to leave the Titans at the end of the year and there had been reports his representatives had contacted the Eels to discuss a homecoming.

But it’s understood the Eels have moved on from the 2014 Dally M medallist, while they have an up-and-coming star in 21-year-old Bevan French at fullback.

“I’ve not had an approach and if it was coming, it would be through me,” Gurr said of Hayne.

“There have been no substantial discussions around Jarryd Hayne returning to the club.”

Tedesco can't backflip to join the eels if he's signed with the roosters. He can only backflip to stay at his current club. And if he hasn't signed with the roosters why would we be offering a player swap if he's off contract. Only outcome IF there's a player swap is for this season. And no way will BA let go of guthbus.

That's not true any more. All contracts are subject to a 10 day cooling off period.

I'm not suggesting that the story has any legs.

But can a player backflip to sign for a rival club, not his current club???

So Bernie is quoted as saying we are looking at Peats but not Hayne.

Lock in Peats then.

Would much prefer Peats back at Parra rather than Hayne anyway #FeelTheBern

Would love to see him back here, Kaysa is doing well of late but I think this could be very beneficial to us.

Line speed in defense, Peats was always the leader and him and Kaysa interchanging could do wonders at back end of the half's.

The only issue is Peats may not want to come back after we burnt him.

He seemed massively pissed off with that, as was as his dad.

Edit: If Peats wants to come back, he is as good as ours.

That was the old rule. The NRL would only register a contract with a new club after Rd 13 or whatever it was. They chucked that, and replaced with a 10 day cooling period for all contracts (even if with existing club).

 

[Soren Lorenson]

He can if he is off contract. The way I understand it is it's a cooling off period the same as when you buy a new car for example. You can keep your old car, or buy whatever car you like.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Not so sure.

What is the average NRL salary? 300k is a lot for a depth winger/fullback in a 25 man squad.

But he isn't a depth signing, has been picked each week in the top 13 and can't see him playing NSW cup anytime soon!!

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I would have thought Hoff would be 200-250k material at the moment. Maybe more with match payments.

No, Bernie said:

“There have been no substantial discussions around Jarryd Hayne returning to the club.”

From that, the journalist creates a heading titled: Forget Jarryd Hayne.

TBF the people they seemed most pissed at, aren't at the club anymore
