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.

      • NSW cup is open age, no eligibility really required. An 18 year old, hell a 17 year old can play Cup.

        But this year he is 20 I believe so only Flegg eligible in terms of aged footy.

      • I hope he does. But I can tell you there will be plenty of JF forwards pushing to play cup throughout the year. Will be a hard forward pack to crack into. But I am sure at one point of the year there will be a few injuries in the nrl and nsw cup forward pack which will allow JF players to get a chance in cup

    • Still surprised he didn't get an nrl pre season. Even if it was just till December before returning to JF like Coinakis. 

      • Yea i think they can only offer a limit number of spots and they get allocated in advance

        • Ohk

  • Anyone seen this Faumui play? Says he played some lock but a google search shows him as goal kicking halfback at u/16s. Does this signing get the collective thumbs up?

    I have seen a few comments rating Popo.

  • This is big news, Max is the son of the legendary Mr Popo

    • Poppa will be announcing he is signing on with 1ee for a further 5 years.    $3.89 a season 

      • I think you meant a "session" Chiefy......come in a lie down on my couch!

"Whose going to do the main goal kicking this year? Moses, Pezet, Russell ? Or maybe another? Pezet is very good. Moses very good, Russell ok but struggles with kicks that are closer to the sidelines. "

"Just no injuries please. I dont care if we lose. Means nothing if we rock up to Melbourne round 1 and get flogged.
Mitch should kick a few balls, make 1-2 tackles, pass the ball once or twice and then come off.
