Eels club captain Tim Mannah is reportedly set to leave the club effective immediately to sign with the Wests Tigers for the rest of 2019.

The potential move would bring to a close an 11 year career at Parramatta for one of the club’s favourite sons.

The Daily Telegraph revealed negotiations between Mannah, the Eels and the Tigers started late on Sunday.

The 31-year-old veteran of 233 first grade games for the Eels has played four Origins for NSW back in 2010-11 and four Tests for Lebanon in 2017.

Negotiations are expected to conclude on Tuesday when the deal will be formally announced by the Wests Tigers.

It remains to be seen where Mannah will feature in Michael Maguire’s side.

Maguire already has out-of-favour forwards Russell Packer and Elijah Taylor on his books.
James Hooper revealed that the Tigers were attempting to unofficially shop some of the biggest names on their roster who are on long-term contracts.

Josh Reynolds, Russell Packer, Elijah Taylor, Chris McQueen and even Ben Matulino and Moses Mbye have all been mentioned at rival clubs.

For a club to tell their captain, their most respected, most experienced player, and all-round nice guy Tim Mannah that he is not a part of their plans beyond the current season is... well it's not that shocking when you think about it. After all, it is the Eels. How pathetic are they.

Oh... by the way... this is what the Tigers forward pack could look like in just a few weeks...

They need Adam Doueihi, Abbas Miski and Mounsour in the back line too.

Why is it shocking ? The guys done and offers nothing. You expect them to carry him just because of the things you stated, that he is all round nice guy? Lol

Solid and reliable. They show no loyalty to their captain.

Absolutely disgusting way to treat a club captain and 10 year player. At least a farewell game and some sort of celebration.

How have they not? It’s his last year on contract and they told him that they will not be offering him a new deal. So he had a sook and asked for a release. He is bog average and has been so for many years now.

So cause he is a 10years player that is off contract they must sign him to a new deal? And no one told him he has to leave ASAP he had a sook and asked to be released. I’m sure if he played out the season they would have given him a farewell game.
