There is some good news for the beleaguered Parramatta Eels this week with Jaydn Su’A expected to sign with the Blue & Gold. It is a significant and quality long term addition to the Eels’ forward pack but it comes amidst an almost impossible deepening of the present injury crisis for the club. Sixties and Forty20 discuss what Su’A brings to the Eels and whether he could be an immediate addition to the team.
The injury news gets even worse this week with multiple players downgraded to worst-case recovery schedules while Kitione Kautoga and potentially Sam Tuivaiti are set to miss a chunk of playing time. We are well past breaking point now, how much do the Eels have left in the tank? At least there was some positive news from the Jersey Flegg and the Junior Representatives as the Eels moved to the top of the ladder in the Under 21s while all four pathways grades have progressed deeper into the finals.
The boys also go around the grounds in the NRL to see the latest from across the code.
Some very interesting additions. Saxon Pryke is superb positionally. Is he up to it physically? We’re about to find out. I’ve been a Toni Mataele fan for a long time and have suspected that he has suffered from some sort of bias. Am I right? We’ll learn that too.
Have some of our management been in communication with young Tonga at The Dragons? I suspect so. If so, we’ll watch with interest where that goes.
Sort of a vital weekend for the club. If there’s another abject capitulation I suspect that a fan desertion will massively affect the annual budget
Saxon Pryke is very similar to Cameron Murray. Just doesn’t stop.
I do wonder if he is up to it physically though. It will be a huge step up.
Congratulations Saxon.. I hope he kills it!
