This weekend’s clash against Penrith could be Blake Ferguson’s last NRL appearance in the NRL with the Parramatta veteran revealing he is eager to test himself in rugby union.

Ferguson is off contract at the Eels but turned the clock back in Parramatta’s elimination final win over Newcastle.

“Rugby is something that I do want to try, I played it as a schoolkid and hopefully one day I can play rugby but we’ll see what happens,” Ferguson told Triple M.

“I feel like I’ve achieved everything, I don’t really have to achieve too much more in the NRL.

“It would be good to try and switch codes and try and create a legacy in that arena.”
