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.

This is all OK and we all hope they turn into fantastic players and we are blessed with having them locked up for years at way unders but ....
But what?
....but parra
Nah this kid is a gun. Was prob our best forward in SG ball last year and would have earnt a NSW u19 jersey if he didnt get injured in the GF. Its good to see we are keeping the good ones.
Will he play NSW Cup this year? Is he even eligible?
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
