Jaydn Su’A Commits to Parramatta Eels (Official Club Statement)

The Parramatta Eels are excited to announce that Jaydn Su'A has agreed to join the club on a three-year contract commencing in the 2027 season and running through to the end of 2029.

A powerful and hard-running backrower, Su’A brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the Eels’ forward pack. Since making his NRL debut in 2016, he has gone on to play 160 first-grade matches, establishing himself as one of the competition’s most consistent and physical edge forwards.

Parramatta Eels GM of Football Mark O'Neill welcomed the signing, highlighting Su’A’s impact on and off the field.

"Jaydn has a strong physical presence, he is a competitor who leads through his actions. He can play big minutes, defend consistently, and will be great for our squad."

“He’s built a reputation on toughness and effort, and we believe his experience at both NRL and representative level will add value to our group as we continue to build for the future.”

In addition to his club career, Su’A has performed on the representative stage, earning selection for the Queensland Maroons in State of Origin and representing Samoa internationally.

"It's been so long since we had a premiership and watching our 86 side celebrating 40 years through some social media posts brings back such fond memories. Sometimes i think it's worth just breaking the bank, buy 6 or 7 players on $900k - $1m and put…"

  What's all this talk of getting kaeon?, didn't he just sign a long term contract with the dragons?, what am I missing?.

    Just hoping he black flips cause Sua was a big reason he joined them. So only a very low chance that he leaves them lol

    Yeah there was reports he & Su'a wanted to play together, which was the reason Kaeon went to the Dragons.
    
    Let's be honest, it was probably more the 1mil per season for 5 years - but, with the Dragons predicament, if there is any hope of him backflipping & joining Su'a at the Eels we need to be taking it with both hands.
    
    As EA said, small chance, but stranger things have happened & getting both Su'a & Kalooamantangi could be a masterstroke from the Eels (and I am hoping was part of the reason they wen't for Su'a, but thats just hope).

        Here's hoping that Kaeon has a get out clause if Flanagan gets sacked.

      I hope it was the only reason for going for Keaon. I doubt it but if by some miracle we get Keaon, Su'A becomes a luxary.

        Not a fan of Su'a, LB?

        Oh no far from it NOS. I like the signing. Just don't want it where they only got him to get Keaon for example as opposed to to getting him at they feel he can improve us.
        
        But if we get a top middle and dare i say LPT, Su'A becomes a luxary signing in that don't really need him but we will take him anyway.
