Penrith are in the box seat to sign Blaize Talagi after the Parramatta young gun told Eels management he would reject an offer to stay at the club for 2025. Talagi handed Jason Ryles his first major setback on Wednesday, informing the club he would not stick around for the incoming coach’s first year in charge. Instead, AAP has been told that arch-rivals Penrith will benefit from the 19-year-old’s decision, with a deal imminent between the Panthers and the talented back.
Included in the pitches to Talagi and his agent Isaac Moses were suggestions he could play fullback at the club in the future, along with a lucrative and lengthy deal. But he is set to move to Parramatta’s fierce rivals, in a season in which the Eels have also lost talented young half Ethan Sanders. Ryles must now begin planning for life without Talagi, with only three players locked into contracts for 2026 and beyond and the club sat 16th on the ladder.
