The Eels' NRLW team is in danger of losing star winger and co-captain Tiana Penitani to Cronulla.The Sharks are one of the four new teams to enter the competition in July and are chasing Penitani, 27, with a vengeance.The dual league and union international has already represented the Sharks in the NSWRL women's premiership.However the problem is that the flying winger is under contract to the Eels for the coming season - and the club wants to keep her.For Penitani, it's largely a case of geography - she lives near Cronulla and is tired of the many kilometres - and tollways - to Eels territory.Parramatte is standing its ground, though, and unlikely to release the long-striding winger unless the club can strike a player swap with a suitable replacement from the Sharks.
