Eels repossess Peats' car: report

Parramatta have reportedly repossessed a club-approved car promised to hooker Nathan Peats because it was not compliant with the Eels' salary cap.

Parramatta's week of dramas has continued, with the Eels reportedly repossessing a club-approved car promised to hooker Nathan Peats to avoid additional salary cap penalties.

According to News Corp, Peats was entitled to a car supplied by the club under his deal approved by departed chief executive Scott Seward.

But officials reportedly took it back off the 24-year-old after learning it wasn't compliant with the Eels' salary cap.

Any further breach of the salary cap could see Parramatta docked four premiership points for next season, after the NRL fined the club $525,000 last month for large-scale salary cap infringements.

It comes as the Eels continue their desperate and very public bid to keep marquee signing Kieran Foran.

The star Kiwi playmaker's future remains up in the air due to his contract imbroglio, as Eels coach Brad Arthur moved on Thursday to assure Foran his club is a place where he can play his best football.

However, in the same way they deftly manoeuvred to prise Daly Cherry-Evans back from Gold Coast's clutches, Manly have also launched a counter-attack to keep Foran.

Sea Eagles coach Toovey revealed on Thursday he had been in talks with his five-eighth to keep him at Brookvale.
