Tuilagi has secured a release from the final two seasons of his contract with the Sea Eagles to sign a two-year deal under Brad Arthur at the Eels.

The Samoan international joined Manly from the Wests Tigers in 2023, featuring in 17-games for the Sea Eagles.

However, a logjam of backrowers at the Sea Eagles, including Haumole Olakua’atu, Ben Trbojevic and Josh Schuster has led Tuilagi to link with Parramatta.

Tuilagi will provide much required depth and competition in the back row at the Eels where Shaun Lane is regarded as the only edge forward guaranteed a starting spot in Brad Arthur’s best 17.

For the Sea Eagles, Tuilagi’s exit will enable the club to create further flexibility in their salary cap.

    • Hang in BEM, a beauty of a signing will be announced soon, I'm guessing after the GF.

      • Really, give us a clue. Hope it's Danika Mason she's a real beauty

        • Mmmm Danika is sexy!!!

          • Sure is if I was working with her I'd never take a day off lol

            • Did you see the thighs on her last week on the Sunday footy show? Fcukkkk me.

          • Not as sexy as Mel Mclauglin

            • With u on that one.

      • There are not many players available or other clubs willing to let go. Unless it is like Kayal Iro as a NSW cup star.

        Give us a hint in terms of position and type of club. Or better yet just tell us.

        • Could it be Bradman best?

          • Na it's Manu , he wants to join a club with w winning culture and high standards .
