Parra to get a Super 12 team?
The Eels could have a new sister club, with it emerging that Parra Leagues could back a proposed Pacific Island Super 12 team.
Warriors owner Eric Watson had previously put his hand up to fund a Pacific Island team and base them in Auckland, however Parramatta Leagues, which has previously spoken to the ARU about a fourth Sydney club said the large population of Islanders in West and South Western Sydney meant it would be well placed to host a team, if it decides not to play out of Fiji, Tonga or Samoa, said a report in The Australian on Monday.
