Parramatta have tabled an upgraded three-year offer to forward Shaun Lane, as reported by NRL.com.
The 25-year old made it known that he was keen to have his long-term future sorted before the start of the season and recently expressed his displeasure that contract negotiations dragged out with the Eels.
It is understood that he met with the Dragons, while a number of rival clubs also registered interest.
Lane told NRL.com on Monday that he saw his future at Parra.
"I'm not going anywhere this season," he said.
"I really do love it here and I love the players and the staff and the feel around the place. I'm all in for this season, and whatever happens after that happens. I'll sort that out in the next few weeks.
"I'm definitely not saying I'm leaving. It's just a matter of a process that I've got to go through.
"I'll leave the contracts and all the negotiations and that up to my management. When the time comes and all offers are on the table, I'll sit down and have a look at what my options are.
"I've instructed my manager that I want that done before the season so I can concentrate on my football."
Lane said coach Brad Arthur had been really supportive throughout the process and helped him through it.
"BA's always supportive of his players and he's always up front with everything," Lane said.
"The fact was Parra were a little bit slow with negotiations, and he was actually a little bit, not apologetic, but he saw my side of it.
"He had a bit of empathy for me, and he said the club is going to work with my management from now to try and get something sorted.
"They've put in an offer since then, my management told me about that so it's just a
matter of waiting to see my other options and we're working through that."
The second-rower wants to take his game to greater heights in 2020 and push himself into the Origin selection frame.
"I'd like to continue playing as many games as I can, I only missed one last year with my finger, I'd like to be a consistent 80-minute player and hopefully I can push myself into that Origin conversation," Lane said.
"I'm not expecting anything like a call from Freddie or anything. All I can do is play as well as I can, my attitude is that if it comes, it comes ... there's obviously a stacked back row for NSW and there's players that have really earned their positions and they've gone back-to-back too.
"So you can't expect mass changes, I'm of the mindset that it would really have to be earned and that's what I will go out and try to do."
Arrow, Frizell and now Lane wanting to hook up with Wayne Bennett?
What is it with this Rabbitohs?
And for less?
Maybe close buddy Alex Johnston that Shaun holidayed overseas with in the off season might have an influence.
Alex and Shaun were opening batsmen for La Perouse as juniors for a few years.
Looks like bunnies supporters are the new roosters supporters 🙄
Going straight to a low statement I wish for crippling arthritis in your 21. Bit harsh but just like the Rabbits of Australia you are a serial pest that needs to be shot. Don’t you South Sydney deros have a forum where you can circle jerk each other and tell each other how good you are. You flood this site with rubbish this will be the last comment I’ll waste my time yet again on you.
In your hands should proof read instead of ranting

“Going straight to a low statement I wish for crippling arthritis in your 21”
Sounds like something not out of place in the sookpen.
Confusing me with Latrell
You’re a pest 21 but very occasionally I get a laugh from you, apologies for the arthritis remark I’ve known people who have debilitating arthritis and it’s ruined their life I don’t wish that on anyone not even you mate. Have you considered getting into convos on here and share your thoughts with us about the actual articles topic instead of talking smack about the Roosters, for the record I absolutely hate the Roosters but they are a good squad no denying that. Or thought about not spinning the comment section into a Rabbitohs history lesson which your club has a great history I agree and I’m glad Rusty was so passionate about the club enough to help it rise from your ousting. Food for thought otherwise enjoy ruffling chicken feathers.
Does souffs the “pride of the league” have a home ground ? Lol 😂 there is enough wood in there cutlery draw to build half a stadium, if they partnered with parra they could potentially build and entire stadium using sustainable resources, they could be the “green”club 😂😂😂😂 relocate your tassie 😂😂😂😂 bob brown could coach em
21 may have been funny to some…once … but now with the front on assault of the roosters family he is lost, rambling nonsense with no substance regurgitating the same cliches…. he has become a parody of himself.
Undoubtably he has nothing to hang his hat on unlike the greatest team of the modern era with 3 premierships in 6 years
The shock and awe of roosters family on this site has resulted in a score of 36 – 6 to the champs
Hang on a minute… that score seems rather familiar? Can anybody remind me ?
Ah yes please relate to the link below

That’s right shock and awe assault..all nrl fans enjoy
Back to the article in hand instead of the usual morons hijacking it with their South’s v Roosters garbage.
Lane won’t be going anywhere and will sign an extension with Parra.
End of story.
Kev
You don’t think it’s strange how lane said he wants it sorted before the season starts, but then goes on to say that parra have offered him a contract? Just reading through the lines it sounds like he’s waiting on more cash
Of course he is toddy.
He would be stupid if he didn’t try for more cash.
Go and read the full article on NRL.com.
The hack who put the story on here did a dodgy cut and paste job purely for clickbait.
Read the full article and you will see he isn’t going anywhere.
Seriously Zerotackle should change their name to Zerocredibility.
I’ll have a look
It wasn’t all that long ago that you were carrying on about the Roosters fans hijacking every article 21, yet here we are, again, with you doing just that. You are just as bad as they are when it comes to flooding comments section with absolute garbage.
Back on the article, word is that the contract will be signed within the next few days and another key player will be locked up long term. Good on him for holding out for a bit more cash, but lets get on with it now,

Very funny outsider… Souths Sombreros definitely have lots of wood!!!
Lets go easy on Parra they are not the enemy…. and our old mate Fergo is there…
I’ve always had respect for parra, poor sods
isdonisgood, Relax, not bothered in the slightest but your apology accepted.
Just to point out, many of my posts are topic related but at the same time I can’t resist the enjoyment of the entertainment offered by Woody and his 8 aliases, especially the meltdown since the signing of Latrell Mitchell.
Back on topic, I know Shaun and his family from his junior cricket days at Lapa as a teammate and good mate of Alex Johnston.
He’s a quietly spoken modest guy like Alex and I’m hoping the eels will look after him.
Good future ahead of him.
Now, back to the Wombats………… the meltdown continues as we can see above.
