Fergo to stay for 22

Veteran winger to stay with Parramatta in 2022​

Blake Ferguson's two-try performance in the Eels' mighty upset over Melbourne may well have saved the veteran winger's career.

The 31-year-old flanker has had a mixed season, at one stage being dropped, and had yet to be offered a deal for 2022.

But Fergy is a proven big-game player - as he showed against the Storm - and his manager Sam Ayoub is hoping to strike a new arrangement soon.
I've spoken to Fergy this week and while other clubs may be an option, he prefers to stay with the Eels.

"I will let Sam do the talking for me," he said. "He's never disappointed me in contract years."

  • For the right price I have no problem re-signing Fergo on a 1yr contract, especially now Sivo will be out for a good part of 2023. All we need is a quality centre with Waqa and Fergo on the flanks.

    • Penisini is that man and Dunster can fill in for Sivo next year

      • I think Dunster will develop into a very good player but we do need another centre, Penisini will be our long term centre for sure.

        • Dunster and Penisini will be very good players in a couple of years.

          • Penisini absolutely will be. I am still unconvinced about Dunster, but I do admit I am warming to him with his recent performances! The future is bright!

            Naiduki will hopefully be a weapon in the future too!

            • And Matt Komolafe (spelling)

    • If we can find another decent centre, I would put Waqa  to the wing. No need for Fergo. 

  • That's good news for us as I think without him it leaves a big hole.

    With that lack of proven quality out there I think going with Fergo for another year is a smart move.

  • I'm surprised Sam Ayoub didn't slam the phone down and call his mates in the media first. Strange? 

    • Haha...he probably  got bigger fish to fry. Think he has a few of ours. Does he have Marata too 😬
