💥 “THE BRADMAN BOMBSHELL!” – EELS STUN NRL BY SIGNING KNIGHTS STAR BRADMAN BEST ON MEGA 3-YEAR DEAL! 💥
In one of the most jaw-dropping moves of the NRL season, the Parramatta Eels have pulled off what fans are already calling “the signing of the decade” — securing Newcastle Knights superstar Bradman Best on a blockbuster three-year deal.
The 23-year-old powerhouse centre, known for his explosive runs, fearless defence, and try-scoring flair, was heavily pursued by several top clubs. But in a dramatic twist that sent shockwaves through the league, Best chose Parramatta — a decision that instantly changes the landscape of the NRL’s 2026 lineup.
Sources close to the deal report that the Eels’ offer wasn’t just about money, but about vision. Head coach Brad Arthur is said to have presented Best with a clear plan for success, including a leadership role in a young, hungry squad determined to return to premiership contention.
> “I’m pumped to be joining the Eels,” Best said in a statement. “I’ve loved my time at Newcastle, but this is a new challenge — and I’m ready to give everything for Parramatta fans.”
The move reportedly comes with a lucrative performance-based structure, potentially making Best one of the highest-paid centres in the game if he hits key milestones.
Fans took to social media within minutes of the announcement, with one post reading: “This changes everything — Bradman in blue and gold? Unreal!” Others praised the club for making a bold, future-focused statement.
For Newcastle supporters, the loss stings — but for Parramatta, it’s pure jubilation. The Eels have just landed a generational talent whose mix of power, pace, and passion could ignite a new era in Sydney’s west.
💙💛 Bradman Best to the Eels — and the NRL will never be the same again.
