SO SAD: “He’s not part of the Eels plan” Parramatta Eels general manager Mark O’Neill revealed a heartbreaking news regarding Eels prop Eric Newbigging.

In his announcement, O’Neill expressed regret that the Eels would not be able to develop Newbigging as originally planned, but emphasized that the decision was ultimately made in the best interests of the team.

“Eric is a talented player and a great young man, and we would love to have him as part of our future plans,” said O’Neill. “But the reality is that we need to focus on the players who are going to give us the best chance to win now, and we believe that we have other young players who are better suited to that role.”

Newbigging’s departure from the Eels is a major blow to the team’s long-term strategy, as the young prop was widely regarded as one of the most promising prospects in the club’s development system.

“Eric was one of our top young players, and we were really looking forward to seeing him develop and contribute to the team,” said one Eels insider. “But the reality is that the Eels are in a win-now mode, and we need to make decisions that are going to help us achieve that goal.”

While the Eels may be disappointed by Newbigging’s departure, many within the NRL community believe that the young prop could still have a bright future in the sport, with several rival clubs rumored to be interested in signing him.

“Eric is still a very talented player, and I think he has a lot of potential,” said one NRL analyst. “He’s a big, strong, mobile prop, and I think he could be a real asset to any team that signs him.”
