THE NRL will take the time to meet potential Parramatta board members as rival tickets line up to seize control of the Eels.
Three groups will attempt to overthrow the Eels board at an extraordinary general meeting.
Long-term fan Chris Losco wants to dump the board except for Geoff Gerard, who would stay on until he helped appoint a new board.
Losco has handed in the more than 100 signatures to force the meeting. Part of his proposal is to appoint a merit-based board via a committee with NRL consultation.
Parramatta icon Ray Price is part of a rival ticket, alongside Andrew Eagleston, Ian Sekuloski and Paul Barber, plus two independent NRL directors.
Lawyer Brendon Noney is headlining another group.
NRL boss Todd Greenberg said he would work closely with the groups.
