Max Popo extends til 2028

Parramatta Eels SG Ball and Jersey Flegg Lock Forward Max Popo has extended til the end of 2028. It is great news for the club as they strengthen their pathways further. From the Pacific Sports Management page.

It is also worth noting, from Pacific Sports, we also signed Stirling Mataniu Faumui, from the Wests Tigers pathways. He is a Utility but played a bit of Lock for Western Suburbs in Laurie Daley Cup. Might feature for SG Ball this year.
