The Parramatta Eels have granted Matt Arthur permission to speak with other NRL clubs regarding a potential move in 2025.

Matt and his management approached the club recently seeking permission to negotiate with other clubs following the 2024 season based on compassionate grounds.

Given the unique and exceptional circumstances, the Eels have granted the request to explore potential options.

Parramatta Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos said, “Matt is a great young man and it was wonderful to see him make his NRL debut earlier this year.

“While we would love to see him stay at the Eels, we understand the unique circumstances involved with this request and our decision to grant permission to negotiate with other clubs is based on compassionate grounds.”

also known as “you sacked my Dad and now our family doesn’t want to be involved with the club”

This was always going to be the outcome eventually, whether it is now or another time in the future.

I suspect the decision not to go with an Orr managed Head Coach candidate has expedited this.

Time to move on.

Good outcome. He will prob end up at Newcastle with his dad’s mate O’Brien or Manly with his brother. TCT will be devastated .

So we're going into next year with Hands and Lussick as our only hookers? What a joke.
He signed a contract to play for the Eels, not necessarily his dad. Make him see out the duration of his contract
