Parramatta Eels are interested in signing Newcastle Knights winger James Schiller ahead of the 2027 season. Schiller’s current contract with Newcastle, which he joined in 2026, is set to expire, allowing him to explore other options. The 25-year-old has struggled for first-grade appearances, playing only one NRL game this season due to a neck injury that required surgery. The Eels are looking to improve their outside back depth after adding new players like Jarome Luai and Spencer Leniu. If Schiller joins, it would be contingent on the future of Josh Addo-Carr, who faces a potential suspension and could leave the club.
