Parramatta-bound forward Jaydn Su’A will remain at St George Illawarra for the rest of the season after the Dragons decided against releasing him early to the Eels.

The Queensland State of Origin representative last month agreed to join Parramatta on a three-year deal from next season.

The injury-riddled Eels had designs on bringing Su’A to the club before the June 30 transfer deadline to bolster their squad along with Cowboys forward Harrison Edwards, whose arrival they confirmed on Wednesday.

But the Dragons have opted against letting the 28-year-old go early, regarding him as an important asset in their effort to turn around a miserable season.

  • I think we could be battling them for the spoon, so I'm not surprised they knocked this back.

    • Even with our players back we are fair way ahead of them at the moment.

      • Agre, but there's only one team between us at the moment, and that's Storm. Not confident Storm will stay there all season.

    • What a shame. Should have offered them Pezet and I'm sure Dragons would jump at it, seeing as they desperately need a half 

      • Braith would have blocked that move for sure, seeing what happened to Ilias... but I'd support it!

  • Fairly obvious this was going to happen. Just have to wait until next year and hopefully the Eels won't win the spoon also aren't Melbourne below the Eels on the ladder

  • Looking like the dragons won't give up on handing the spoon to parra, aa they are both favourites for the spoon play offs.

    • Spoon bowl will be our most exciting game of the year. 

      • Well, at least we'll have something to look forward to.

  • Oh well dreams were free.
