3 New Signings

 

The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce the signings of three new players who will commence training in the 2021 pre-season.

 

Centre Tom Opacic has agreed to a one year deal with the Eels.

 

Tom made his NRL debut in 2016 for the Brisbane Broncos and has spent the past two seasons playing for the North Queensland Cowboys in his 43 NRL game career. 

 

Isaiah Papali’i has agreed to a two year deal, after playing 59 NRL games for the Warriors since 2017.

 

He has also represented New Zealand and Samoa.

 

Hooker Joey Lussick has also agreed to a one year deal after spending time in the Eels pathways in 2014 and 2015.

 

He went on to make his NRL debut for Manly in 2017 and has spent the last three seasons in the UK Super League playing for Salford.

 

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said, “We are excited to welcome Tom, Isaiah and Joey and I have no doubt that these three men will be a great cultural fit with our Club.”

 

“All players will add class, depth and balance to our overall squad and they will be relocating from their current destinations in readiness for the 2021 pre-season,” O’Neill said.

      • Has Nikore signed as well? bet the Sharks are dirty on this.

        Bonus.

      • Who or what is Fafita?  Mexican corn bread, Tortilla or similar?  Do they have legs, maybe the chilli sauce might give some speed.

        Just to add to it Pops, there are a couple of NRL players named Fifita though unless its the Sharks version that cannot hold his wind in.

  • May I ask tho,why we let Schneider go and I haven't seen him play but  some had wraps on him, then sign lussick?

    • Mostly injury concern. Don't worry though if he goes well somewhere else, we will buy him back

      • I heard he has gone to the dogs

    • Probably wanted a replacement who has been playing footy regularly and didn't spend a good chunk of the last year injured.
