In a sign Blues star Ryan Matterson may be leaving Parramatta, Manly forward Andrew Davey has signed a two-year deal with the Eels.

Davey, 30, is returning home after debuting for Parramatta back in 2020.

Bolstering their backrow depth could be deemed a sign that Parramatta is frightened of losing Matterson, who made his NSW State of Origin debut last week.

Matterson is being pursued by Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins.

Davey will start in the back-row for Sunday’s match against Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Stadium.

Manly had made an offer to extend Davey at Brookvale but the Queensland-born forward has elected to re-join Parramatta.

Davey has been a consistent performer this year at Manly under coach Des Hasler.

The Sunday Telegraph revealed that Parramatta was also interested in Roosters edge forward Angus Crichton.

Davey made his Manly debut in round one last year against the Sydney Roosters.

  • He was ok when he played here before.

  • This signing has nothing to do with Matterson. 

    • Absolutely zero. Ridiculous journalism.

      Dont actually mind it as a signing, would cost next to nothing & doesnt do much wrong when on the field.

      Thoughts?

  • We should just forfeit our matches next season, we are going backwards at the rate of knots....

    • I agree..

  • 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  • Don't mind AD back as a replacement for Marata.

    Hard to be mad at the club for waiting to sign Matto he's had concussion issues the last 2 seasons and the club probably wanted to wait to see how he went this year.
