Parramatta sign New Zealand cross-code convert

Coryn Hughes rejoice as Parramatta have signed Union convert Dru Faletolu from Wellington College. He was a part of the Melbourne Rebels and Hurricans junior systems. He plays as a Flanker or No.8 in Union so not sure where exactly he would fit in League as usually edge forwards in League play Centre in Union, not sure if changed now though.

  • Just a side note, TCT reported Ryan Matterson returned to training today.

  • Be good when we get some news of a replacement for Lomax instead of buying junior players
