Max Popo extends til 2028

Posted by LB on January 13, 2026 at 4:17pm

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.

      Sounds good PT.....should we wait a season and mould him into Ray Price....that puts him ahead of Cam Murray.

      PS Ray would have played with that "knee" bit of tape and some rope to chew on and we would be home. How he played in that 81 GF on one leg is still a medical miracle! lol

"I've always thought that attempts to score shouldn't be punished with a 7 tackle set. So kicks within the 20 metre zone, shots at field goal and knock-ons over the line should all be a simple 20 metre restart with 6 tackles.
