Playing career
Oake made his first grade debut for Parramatta against arch rivals Canterbury-Bankstown in round 1 of the 2008 NRL season, which ended in a 28–20 victory at Telstra Stadium. Oake made a total of 12 appearances in his debut season as the club finished a disappointing 11th on the table.
In June 2008, he resigned with the club until 2010.
In 2009, Oake was limited to only four appearances and did not feature in the club's finals campaign or the 2009 NRL Grand Final. In the 2010 NRL season, Oake only made six appearances for Parramatta and was released at the end of the season after the club failed to qualify for the finals despite being selected as premiership favorites before the year began.[2][3]
