π₯ππ₯ BREAKING: EELS IN SHOCK MOVE FOR NELSON ASOFA-SOLOMONA! π±πͺ
βJason Ryles Wants His Melbourne Monster Back!β πβ‘
The rugby league world is BUZZING tonight β and Parramatta fans can barely contain their excitement! π±π Reports are swirling that the Parramatta Eels and new head coach Jason Ryles have held talks with powerhouse prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona about a potential deal for the 2026 NRL season.
If true, this could be the biggest signing shock of the decade β and one that could change the Eelsβ forward pack forever.
π¬ THE CONNECTION: RYLES & NELSON β A REUNION IN THE MAKING?
Jason Ryles knows Nelson Asofa-Solomona very well. The two worked closely together during their time at the Melbourne Storm, where Ryles served as assistant coach and helped shape Nelson into one of the most feared enforcers in the NRL.
Now that Ryles is leading the charge at Parramatta, itβs no surprise heβs looking to bring in his old weapon of destruction β a man who can demolish defensive lines and set the tone for every collision. π₯
Sources close to the club say the conversations have been βpositiveβ and that the Eels are very keen to see if a deal can be struck for 2026. With Nelson recently released, the timing couldnβt be better.
π¦ WHY THIS MOVE MAKES SENSE
Nelson Asofa-Solomona is a terrific footballer with unmatched power, size, and aggression β exactly what the Eels have been missing in their forward rotation. Standing at 200cm and weighing in at over 115kg, Nelson doesnβt just play rugby league β he intimidates it. π€
Fans still remember his bone-crushing hits and explosive carries at Melbourne. Imagine that same energy off the Eelsβ bench β a game-changer who can swing the momentum in seconds.
But for this move to work, Ryles will need to channel Nelsonβs fire the right way. The Eelsβ coach is known for his discipline and man-management β and if anyone can keep Nelson focused, itβs him.
As one Eels supporter wrote online:

β‘ EELS FANS ALREADY DREAMING BIG
Social media has exploded with fan reactions β many calling this potential reunion βa monster moveβ and βthe missing pieceβ for Parramattaβs 2026 campaign.
Some are even comparing it to the legendary days of Nathan Cayless and Fuifui Moimoi β a throwback to when the Eelsβ forward pack struck fear into every opponent.
With Ryles building his vision for the future, this could be the statement signing that defines his tenure.
π₯ THE VERDICT
If the rumors are true, the Eels arenβt just chasing a player β theyβre chasing a culture shift. Asofa-Solomonaβs mix of power, passion, and presence could reignite the blue and gold army and put Parramatta right back in the title conversation.
2026 might just be the year the Monster meets the West! π¦πβ‘
