Left-field club enters race for $750k NRL forward

A fresh team has reportedly entered the race for former Eels and Blues prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard.
There have been no shortage of clubs who have at least shown interest in Campbell-Gillard, with a Sydney team expected to win the prop’s services since the Eels told him he was free to leave with a full season still to go on his contract.
An interstate club has now rocketed into favouritism, with the Gold Coast Titans reportedly keen on signing the experience front rower.

That’s according to veteran journalist Neil Breen, who broke the news Sunday on 2GB radio.
Breen revealed that Campbell-Gillard is looking for job security and that was a reason he left the Eels, with Parramatta only willing to keep him on their books until the end of 2025.
“2025 was the last year of his deal. He wants to get a deal that takes him forward,” Breen explained.
“It’s similar to what will end up happening with Ben Hunt. He comes into his last year next year, but if someone else comes at him with a two or three-year deal, it gives him longer in the game.
“That’s what Reagan Campbell-Gillard wanted. He rejected the St George-Illawarra Dragons, we saw those reports (Shane Flanagan) was filthy about it and felt misled.
