EELS ASK DRAGONS FOR SU’A IN 2026!
Reports circulating that the Parramatta Eel’s have made new discussions with the Dragon’s to allow Eel’s new signing for the 2027 season Jayden SU’A join the club early in 2026, off the back of many injuries this is a call for help.
Parramatta Eel’s General Manager of football, Mark O’Neill has stated yesterday in a stadium tour with fans that Eel’s are actively looking at options before the June 30 deadline.
Mark was also asked about Herbie Farnworth, which he indicated that it’s something the club could look at or would love to have on board.

Why wouldn't he be. Fullbacks are a dime a dozen, there's that many good fullbacks in the game. Many players are moved positions for the good of the team why should Iongi be any different. There wouldn't be a huge amount of clubs where Iongi would walk into as 1st choice fullback
You're kidding yourself. Firstly, he's signed long term to be our Fullback. Second he's came through the grades as a Fullback and sees himself as a Fullback.
Thirdly, though not the best in the competition, we are much better with him in the team. Against Brisbane he was the difference.
But you are saying he should be grateful for playing Wing at Parramatta a bottom 4 team? We are not in the position as a club where players that are at least decent should be happy to just have a spot.
So if Iongi was available you are saying Perth wouldn't want him? Or Dogs wouldn't look at him and move Tracey which they thought of with Bula? Or Dragons before going for Drinkwater? Think they would. If Iongi was available a handful of clubs would go for him.
If you get a Fullback better than Iongi, you either move him to 6 or let him leave and use his coin elsewhere.
He is a dream but just can't see him coming down here for us less than 1.2M and even then to we cellar dwellers. Be nice but he gonna get huge offers from Perth and png too. Only thing is if he ain't an Aussie citizen he pays tax on png money so might rule them out...but doubt it. Be shonky as hell stuff go on there to get their man. Not like nrl gonna nab em on any shonkiness either.
Herbie and Lucas would be too amazing to believe ;))
Exactly right Macy and with 2 new expansion teams on line this only exasperates the value of the player in the wrong direction for a team like ours.There are zero bargains anymore if you are an elite talent or an up n comer like Lucas.Alot will say the vaunted line he isn't worth that but guess what with the lack of quality and with there being 2 new teams in the mix the value goes up for everyone even your depth and mid tier guys.Russell is a perfect example of that.650 at Perth I bet you he's on half that here I'd put money on it.
it wont matter who we buy or how many, if we don't get our systems and attitude right
Need something good. Seeing Dylan Brown destroying opponents. This is depressing give us something
Brown was extremely good and has gone to new level at the Knights.
Brown is playing good - but lets not forget he had Moses at Parra for several years showed IMO little consistency. Lets see how he goes in 12 months time and more and he is being paid a motza and has to deliver or they will march him up to Redhead beach.
Well run clubs never lose a marquee player. Especially when 7 or 8 of their top 17 are of reserve grade standards like Parramatta
Russell
Kelly
Kelma
Kit kat
Pezet
Penasini - marginal
Doorey
Guymer
Debelin
These players should all be in Ron massey cup
I have no idea how Parramatta are paying full freight in the cap with these players on the books
SARANTINOS AND MARK O'NEILL OUT ASAP. MAKE PARRAMATTA GREAT AGAIN
What about Penrith?
Plus I love how Russell was used as an example of how our R&R are inept, now he's Ron Massey level 😂😂😂
Just laughable.
