Parramatta Eels extend Sam Tuivaiti
The Parramatta Eels are pleased to announce that rising forward Sam Tuivaiti has extended his contract with the Club for a further three years, committing his future to the Blue and Gold until the end of the 2030 season.
A product of the Parramatta Eels Academy, Tuivaiti has progressed through the Club’s pathways system and established himself as one of the most promising young forwards in the game.
Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said the extension reinforces the Club’s commitment to developing and retaining its best young talent.
“It’s always incredibly rewarding when a player who has come through our Junior League and Academy commits their future to the Eels,” O’Neill said.
“Sam and his family have proudly been part of our community for years and he has thoroughly deserved every opportunity he has received. He’s a big, powerful prop who brings plenty of energy and aggression to his football, and we believe he has a very bright future ahead of him.
“Just as importantly, Sam represents our Club values exceptionally well, and we’re excited to see his continued development over the coming years.”
Tuivaiti played a key role in the Eels’ 2023 SG Ball premiership winning team, eventually making his NRL debut in 2025. On the representative stage, he played for the Australian Schoolboys in 2022 and NSW U19s in 2023 and 2024.

Chief is busy working out how he can blame someone for this...
Na, I said Sarantinos and Sam's management were not close, and Sam's manager suggested he would not sign until Sarantinos was out the door. Heard that months back.
Also my contacts say you had BA and MON over for a BBQ and beers last week Chief? Care to comment?
Absolutely fantastic news
Good stuff Parra was getting worried Sam and Spencer will be an intimidating front row and Brown looks the goods to plus keeping juniors is always good
Forwards looking like it's starting to come together. Now for the backs...
Very happy with this news, tuivaiti was one i thought we were likely to lose considering his manager is isaak Moses.
Nice Big Sammy T
Well done Mike Rush
Well done MON.
