Reni Maitua, Cheyse Blair and Daniel Harrison are among the former Parramatta players alleged to have received extra payments above those disclosed to the NRL.

The trio are mentioned in the breach notice that the governing body has handed to the Eels as part of its investigations into salary cap rorts. The development marks the first time the names of players mentioned in the breach notice have been published. There is no suggestion the trio were complicit in cheating the system.

Maitua, Blair and Harrison were among about a dozen players deemed surplus to requirements by then-coach Ricky Stuart in 2013. It was one of the biggest cleanouts in the history of the blue and golds and the names of those deemed not part of the club's future were displayed to the playing group via an overhead projector.

Well-placed sources have told Fairfax Media the extra payments may have been provided as an inducement for some contracted players to leave.
