Hindmarsh wants a payrise
Nathan Hindmarsh has told The Sunday Telegraph that he'd "like an upgrade" if he signs with the Eels again next year.
"Look, I can't complain with what I'm on, but I'd like an upgrade next year. That comes down to Parramatta in the end. There's a rumour the new blokes have been signed to massive contracts, although I don't know how true that is.
"But when my contract runs out, I have to look at my future and see where I go. I'll be 26 next year and the next contract is the most important I'll sign in my career. It might be the last contract I ever sign, so I want to make the right decision.
Hindmarsh also indicated his decision would also be dependent on Parra becoming premiership contenders again next year.
"I'm hoping the club gets some results next year. I play rugby league to win a premiership and you wouldn't sign at a non-successful club, I'd have to look at the players they've got and the coach they've got before I sign anywhere.
"I'd like to remain an Eel for a long time, but we'll wait and see what happens. I'll play the cards I'm dealt."
