"If by soon, you mean end of the season, then sure. When we extended him in May 2025 he'd played 6 games of first grade. And who is to say we're not talking to him right now to extend further?"
Thats how the dopes in recruitment and retention roll. Our best prop, yet he can talk to other clubs in a few months, and were extremely short on go forward props.When he was only signed until 2027, I honestly couldn't believe it. Anyone could see…
"The Knights are chasing former Eel Marata Niukore for 2027. Also read the Bears were interested.
Would he come back to Parrra or he's getting a bit long in the tooth?https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/9202616/marata-niukore-kni...

"Coryn, sounds like you're finally coming around to reality. Welcome aboard. This comment is a really worthwhile contribution to this subject of recruitment and something many should stop and consider before getting themselves in a tizz."

Exactly right Phil, glad eels fans are slowly waking up to this imposter.
On the way to getting in his ear ... B.A should tap him on the shoulder instead !
2 things
1) he has been our most consistent forward this year (and is so most years). He NEVER gets driven back, rarely misses a tackle and has the fastest play the ball of the squad.
2) he takes the multiple hit ups simply because the other soft options won’t put their hands up to have a go. That’s actually called leadership.
And then you get a blog like this criticising it!
I saw him get driven back several times against the raiders. what he NEVER does is offload or bend the line or trouble the defensive line.
But every defender knows he will never offload so tackling him is easy
I think fans a very harsh on Mannah , reminds me a lot of Ben Kennedy in the way he inspires the players around him .
Good to have you back Fong! Where you been?
