O'Dwyer to claim contract
Following his superb performance at last night's trial, young Gold Coast talent Luke O'Dwyer has almost certainly claimed a contract for himself wearing the Blue and Gold in 2004.
O'Dwyer, who was trialling for a contract, almost scored two tries before delivering the super pass that led to Jamie Lyon scoring.
The Sun Herald in a report titled "Seagull O'Dwyer stakes claim for position at Eels" quoted Brian Smith as saying: "We'll be talking to him tomorrow. We want him to come down but we have to find out what it will take for him to give up his wonderful life on the Gold Coast".
"I might be premature, but he's pretty keen so we're confident we will come to an agreement in the next couple of days".
Meanwhile, following the embarrassing alcohol-related incident in Byron Bay, Aaron Cannings was stood down from last nights trial with his spot taken by Michael Vella. The Eels are to investigate the matter further and decide if any further action is necessary.
Parra's GM Greg Mitchell told The Herald that: "Aaron is new to the club and he has to understand the club's culture and the club's attitude towards these sorts of incidents".
The Eels pride themselves on their clean-cut image.
