Eels centre hoping for extension but would “have a look” if Dolphins came knocking

3 years ago

Eels centre Tom Opacic is hoping to extend his stay at Parramatta beyond this season.

Opacic, 27, has become somewhat of a journeyman across his time in the NRL, playing for the Broncos, Cowboys and now Eels since making his debut in 2016.

Having never played more than 24 games for a single club, the centre is looking to find a home long-term and he hopes that’s in blue and gold.

While Opacic is hoping to stay in Parramatta, the Redcliffe junior told SEN that he’d “have a look” at a move home to the Dolphins if they offered him a deal.

Joining Jimmy Smith, Opacic was asked whether his junior club had approached him about his future.

“Not yet,” Opacic replied on SEN 1170 Afternoons.

“I don’t know what’s in store yet for next year,

“Looking away from it, if it came up (an offer from the Dolphins), I’d definitely have a look.

“But, I’m happy here (in Parramatta), and if an extension comes here I’ll take it with two hands.

“I’ll wait until I’m playing really well and in top form, then maybe we’ll see.”

Opacic has been named in the number four jersey for the Eels’ clash against the Storm this Saturday at AAMI Park.
