The Parramatta Eels are set to be buoyed by the news they will not lose competition points with the club expected to meet the NRL's list of corporate governance requests ahead of Monday's deadline.

While the salary cap investigation surrounding third party deals with Anthony Watmough and Jarryd Hayne is a separate issue, Fairfax Media understands the Eels will not be stripped of competition points if there is a breach, and instead face the likelihood of a fine that would be taken out of their salary cap.

The Eels have been working overtime to adhere to all the recommendations in the PricewaterhouseCoopers governance review completed at the end of last year, and have been in regular consultation with the NRL surrounding certain constitutional changes. The NRL had threatened the club could lose four competition points if it refused to make changes.

Parramatta lawyers are checking documents before finalising a report to send to the NRL at the end of the week.
