Tahu to sign with Eels
AAP has reported that Timana Tahu is almost certain to sign with the Parramatta Eels.
The article described Parramatta as "raging hot favourite" to win the signature of the Australian representative.
Remarakably, the article pegged the offer as being worth up to $400,000 per season, while Newcastle are believed to be offering $220,000 per year.
While Parra boss, Denis Fitzgerald refused to express any confidence that Parramatta would get Tahu, Manly football manager Peter Peters said that it looked like his club's offer for Tahu had been blown out of the water.
"I think the dogs are barking that he's going to go to Parramatta," said Peters.
Chad Robinson is also rumoured to have signed with the Eels.
