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.

Interesting - shows we are looking in places....lets see how the kid goes in the jnr reps. I am sure EA will be all over him during the season..
He might even watch him play
LOL
Will be interested to see how he goes
I got excited thinking maybe a Winger, but seems he is a middle forward. We have plenty of them coming through with Talagi, Koina and Popo.
Hopefully he can be an edge where we have Funa-Iuta and Petrus as the only really great prospects in junior ranks.
Just a side note, TCT reported Ryan Matterson returned to training today.
