Maitua is now favoured to join Parramatta, whose board on Monday night unanimously gave Eels CEO Paul Osborne its blessing to make an offer.

He seems to be committed to getting his career back on track, and he can add a bit of vigour to our pack to go with that of Fui's.
Let's get it done!!
He's been great for us this year and I'm sure the board have seen that and will offer him a contract soon.
