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.

"Absolutely agree Mitchy, he hardly misses a tackle and his initial contact in defence is good which is what we seriously lack right now.
With De Belin it is not about attack but what he does in defence, I think people are overlooking this."

"i don't know man I used to get on here and whinge and bitch about everything and I came to the realisation that it's pointless and doesn't represent my passion for this club.
So when things are going to shit (like they are now) I try and keep my…"

"He should be starting IMO; his defence has been ok for me; and let him play the first 20-25. Throw in the change in game; injuries; and also some leading players not playing great and it all combines."

        I don't even worry about how much if we go for Farnworth and end up like chiefs post Averillo and or Tago.Again we seemingly struggle to attract the best guys and end up with a teams discards.

    Yes. We need better players than Hughes but we also need ones like him. He is still miles ahead of Koina, Talagi, etc at this stage.
