He certainly isn’t earning his keep.His contract is massive overs & we wont miss him.We need a top draw general & a speedy try scoring outside back or 2.Ofahengaue did a medical with the Eels. Then the Tigers kept him
The mid-season switch of a former Origin forward unravelled in bizarre fashion on Thursday as Ofahengaue was told might be required for one more week at the Tigers.www.smh.com.au
Offa’s gone next week.!! Unless he’s injured in our game this weekend.. Check his stats. They arnt great..4 offloads this year
Battered wife dropped the charges. Same story time and time again. I do like how in some US states the charge is taken out of the victims hand if there is evidence . It prevents fear and financial security etc,.dictating whether a case will procceed.

It was reported by Sheens that he hadn't trained all preseason due to injury?
Agree, the only thing I can think of is, they must believe they have the depth and are looking to the future, with Blore and Matamua etc? Not sure it is the right time for that, but it is freeing up a bit of cash, I can only assume they have their sights on another player?
Very true and we know who will be dropping in soon to make some outlandish comment about his beloved Eels.

Joe Ofahengaue’s proposed mid-season move to the Eels has been delayed despite him undergoing a medical at Parramatta, with the Tigers insisting any potential release would be done on their terms.
The former State of Origin forward’s immediate move to the Tigers’ western Sydney neighbours unravelled on Thursday when the club told him he would be required for Saturday’s clash against the Cowboys, which doubles as Luke Brooks’ 200th NRL game.
The Eels were preparing for Ofahengaue to sign a two-and-a-half year contract with the club on Thursday, and even went as far as having him checked by the club doctor. There was even a chance Ofahengaue would have played for the Eels’ NSW Cup team on Friday.
But the Tigers put a halt to any immediate switch and the deal now runs the risk of falling over if Ofahengaue is injured in any match this weekend.
According to Tigers sources speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the talks, a recruitment and retention meeting on Wednesday night determined Ofahengaue wouldn’t be released before the weekend.
But it didn’t stop the 27-year-old from heading to Kellyville for a medical the next day and meeting key Eels staff.
t’s likely the two clubs won’t revisit the final release until early next week as Parramatta desperately search for middle forwards. Reagan Campbell-Gillard is spending an extended stint on the sidelines.
Ofahengaue will have to undergo another medical if he plays this weekend before he can join Brad Arthur’s side. He is under contract at the Tigers until the end of 2025.
While the Tigers might be preparing for one last game for Ofahengaue, the Cowboys clash will also double as the return of former forward Luciano Leilua, who was cleared to play after domestic violence charges were dropped against him in court on Thursday.
North Queensland made an immediate application for him to be cleared for the NRL game at Leichhardt Oval after the no-fault stand-down policy was lifted.
But sources said the Tigers objected to the NRL’s clearance and questioned why Leilua was being allowed to play despite not being named in the 23-man squad on Tuesday. The appeal fell on deaf ears.
Leilua replaced Sylvester Namo on the extended bench.
“The charges have been dismissed and Mr Leilua has accepted an AVO without any admissions,” Leilua’s lawyer Elias Tabchouri said.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Moses has finally signed a five-year extension with the Eels which could keep him at the club until 2028.
The halfback will have an option in his favour in each of the last two years of the deal after rejecting interest from the Tigers to stay with his boyhood club.
“We have a great bunch of boys at Parramatta and I love working with Brad and our coaching staff,” Moses said. “I’ve been an Eels supporter since I was a kid, so this feels special.”

its says police have dropped the charges i think you will find once police have charged you that is it there the one who decide to go to court or not the wife in this case could have chosen not to give evidence and in this day and age once they have been called to a domestic and you are of the male gender it dont matter what your female partner has done to you, you will be the one taken away and charged the court will decide if you are guilty or not
That’s what I thought although didn’t Dylan Walker get off scott free coz his partner retracted.I’d have thought there’d be no other way he could have got off.
How can he when Mr Sheen doesn’t play him, he is a good buy for us, and will do well, I can’t believe his going to play for u this weekend though
Well, he is still under contract to us and we owe your club no favours. You’ve done this shit to us previously.
I’d prefer a season ending injury in his 1st game with Parra
He’s dispensable & we won’t miss the soft mercenary.He will b a perfect fit in ur B-grade pack
