Parramatta Eels have pulled off a sensational recruitment coup, securing the signature of what head coach Jason Ryles has described as the “world’s most unique twins” – Randall Baker and his brother – after beating Sydney Roosters and Newcastle Knights to land the highly sought-after free agent pair.
