Mannah re-signs for a further three years

Looks like we're getting our re-signings done this week

Parramatta Eels prop Tim Mannah will extend his NRL career with the Club after signing a three year contract extension which will see him remain at Parramatta until the end of the 2019 season.

In announcing Mannah’s re-signing, Head Coach Brad Arthur said the Eels had retained a Club stalwart who had come through the ranks as a junior and established himself as a formidable forward.

“Tim’s contribution to the team and to the Club over the last eight years can never be undervalued,” Head Coach Brad Arthur said.

“His level of experience and commitment to Parramatta will continue to help, guide, and develop the next generation of players in our Club.”

A State of Origin representative for NSW and a leader both on and off the field, Mannah has accumulated 180 first grade games for the Eels having started his career with the Club in 2009.

Mannah has played his entire NRL career with Parramatta, and has won several awards for his achievements including the Ken Thornett Medal as the NRL Player’s Player in 2015.

"TDS is still young, with plenty of improvement left in him. He could still play Flegg in 2026 ffs. And despite being two years younger than Ryley Smith, he has played nine more NRL games."

"HFK, Fair point. Sure, we could. But balancing incoming youth with experience is almost a perennial issue. A constant cycle. It never really goes away. At least not for too long. "

Ill get in early

Congrats Tim. After reading Nathans piece re training and how you lead & encourage in the team, Im happy you are still part of my team.

You cant have a team full of flashy players, you need some hard workers and Tim is definitely one of those.
