The Parramatta Eels have pulled their offer to star lock Nathan Brown from the table after the back-rower chose not to accept it before a deadline on the deal expired.

The Eels and the 28-year-old firebrand have been involved in drawn out negotiations, but have yet to agree to terms.

The Eels tabled a two-year, $1.2 million deal several months that Brown was unwilling to sign.

The club reportedly gave Brown a deadline in order to bring the matter to a head, but they have been unable to land Brown’s signature.

Brown missed the deadline date, with the club making the decision to withdraw the offer.

Meanwhile the Eels are set to meet the Sharks at 8.35pm on Saturday.
