Michael Jennings keen to join Parramatta, Roosters eyeing Dale Copley
January 13, 2016 7:00pm
MATT LOGUEThe Daily Telegraph
Parramatta officials have met with star Sydney Roosters centre Michael Jennings, who has expressed a desire to join the Eels if he can receive a release from the Roosters.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal Jennings is keen to depart Bondi, but any deal at the Eels is dependent on the Roosters signing unwanted Brisbane centre Dale Copley.
Copley is expected to announce a deal with the Tricolours as early as Thursday, which would open the door for Jennings to link with the blue and gold.
The Broncos are prepared to pay approximately $100,000 of Copley’s new contract, meaning the Roosters will have to shelf out around $250,000 to secure the centre.
If Copley does sign with the Roosters, it could prompt Jennings to leave.
It’s understood the NSW Origin and Test representative has struggled with the travel to training at Moore Park in the city from his Bella Vista home in Sydney’s west.
In order to fit Jennings under their salary cap, Parramatta will officially release forward Pauli Pauli to Newcastle in the coming days.
Jennings’ desire to link with the Eels may face a challenge depending on whether the Roosters are prepared to part ways with the 27-year-old.
This is particularly the case with fellow centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall facing an uncertain future at the club due to domestic violence charges.
Kenny-Dowall is expected back in court next month, and depending on the outcome, could face a club and NRL ban.
Jennings is understood to be keen to move to Parramatta.
Until then, the Roosters will stand by the Kiwi Test centre, who has impressed upon return to training last week after completing an intense program over the summer break.
If Kenny-Dowall is proven to be non-guilty of charges, it could force a three-way juggling act in the Roosters’ backline with Jennings and Copley on the club’s books.
Chief executive Brian Canavan was adamant Jennings wasn’t leaving when contacted last week.
“Michael is on contract until the end of 2016, and all of our preparation has him playing in the centres with possible (centre) partner Shaun Kenny-Dowall,” Canavan said.Comment

You say Milf is on 450. I say he is on 700k.
Who is closest?Comment

On the salary cap, drumstick would be closest. Lockyer was on a contract of 250k for his entire career. The Raiders offered milf 1m and knocked it back so with 3pp and thoroughbred payments at least 900k.Originally posted by Pass the Ball View Post...Comment

I can't attach it to my post.
They can be on 2 million a year each for all i care as long as this amount is their correct market value, registered with the NRL and is deducted from their cap allowance.
I'm guessing you pulled your figure out of your date hole. Your usual point of reference.

Why sign another back???? Seriously our roster is solid as what it is as Jennings would be a massive lost..... His defence was crap when playing for Penrith but since he has been here at Bondi that part of his game has improved immensely. Copely will not be wanted at Bondi as with Joe Burgess here now and the rise of Mitchell we would be a fool to sign this bloke and potentially lose both Jennings and SKD if found guiltyComment

I can't fathom letting Jennings go. He is the best player we have in our backline. Although I do still believe that this story is media driven & has no shred of truthLast edited by TheBigFella; 01-14-2016, 04:29 PM.Comment
