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.

"The Lomax court battle was a genuine win and was something to be proud of. It absolutely did require the club to have a spine and to call the bluff of some pretty intense and powerful characters. So credit where it's due, it was a fun ride and we…"

"I know some of our injury issues were unavoidable, but I think its no coincidence our head of physical development was brought over from the spoon winning Newcastle knights. The number of soft tissue injuries are off the scale. "

"Nothing wrong with optimism. Deep down it's all Eels fans have. As far as predicting our success, help me, you seem to have some good insight. I've been trying to predict it for over 25 years, some here, for over 40. "

        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.
