Parra set to lose another promising junior.

Rabbitohs reel in baby Eel for 2017

By The Mole
July 16, 2016

SEASON 2016 may be a write-off but the Rabbitohs are already planning a resurgence in 2017.

The Bunnies have have secured the signature of one of Parramatta’s most promising forwards in Tyrell Fuimaono.

A junior Kangaroo and NSW under-20s player, Fuimaono trained with the Eels squad at the start of this year and could push for a top-grade spot at Souths next season.

Versatility will help his cause – he’s big enough to play edge back-rower and fast enough to handle himself in the centres.

  • Actually he's a bit too small for edge forward and a bit too slow for centre. Very good footballer though. He will get better opportunities at Souths than if he had stayed.
    • You could be right Pou as you would see more of our juniors than what I do. Would of been nice to see him get a go in fg for us to see if he has anything to offer us.

    • I've only seen him on telly. He might be bigger and faster in real life.
    • Makes all the rep teams nudger? Ben Jones captained the Australian under 20s side.
      Anyway I'm not saying Fuimaono won't become a first grader, just that he's no great loss.
  • must go alright makes all the rep teams

    • Fair call Nudger, but so did Chayse Blair

  • 188cm
    95kg (20 years old)
  • No huge loss for mine. 

    He has more opportunity at Souths than here and hasn't kicked on as well as the club have wanted him to. 

  • I've seen him play a couple of times and he looked good - like many others.

    I thought this happened a number of weeks ago?

  • Old News,Mole you are on fire mate.  Next you will be scooping that Parra maybe be losing some points.
