The Parramatta Eels Rugby League Club has signed Canberra Raiders front row forward Junior Paulo on a four year contract commencing in 2019 and concluding at the end of the 2022 NRL season.

The powerful front rower is a Parramatta Eels local junior and made his NRL debut for the Parramatta Eels in 2013, playing over 50 games before moving to Canberra in 2016.

Parramatta Eels Head Coach Brad Arthur said he was excited about the return of Junior to the Eels line-up: "I'm looking forward to having Junior back at Parramatta. It is always great to have a local Parramatta Eels junior return to our Club and I know Junior will be an asset to our team next year."

Junior was rewarded the Mal Meninga Medal in 2017 as Canberra Raiders Player of the Year and finished the season by representing Samoa in the World Cup.

Why hasn’t the Jnr Paulo contract been announced FFS ?

I must have scared them into releasing it.

Beware The AFL Guy Junior.

But but but BA only ever signs journeymen and small forwards!

 

[Gazzamatta]

Id pass on Klemmer. His heart wont be in it and when hes not tuned on hes no better than average. Find a young Powerhouse. C'mon scouts. WTF are we paying you for?

Lol, begged? Clutching at straws mate.

 

[Gazzamatta]

So have we got Kennys fu*k up to thank for this?

Says the bloke who just said Junior Paulo is "going down the path of being a journeyman"....it's only fair you share your straws, tbh

I'm sure someone with more care factor than me could find plenty of posts imploring the club to bring back Paulo.

I recall Junior is capable of playing big minutes. If the AFL Guy (provided he gets a second year) can get him in the right condition without jeopardising too much size then we could be on a real winner. (Didnt work for Vae though).
I wonder if these few years will go down in the history of the NRL as the years of the fat forwards.

Anyone can play long minutes if they just reduce their work per minute. Paulo’s tackles per minute are the worst of all regular NRL middle forwards. Damaging runner though (which is why he’s in the team and why he is left out there for long minutes). He can really make a mess of opposition defensive lines.

He can really make a mess of opposition defensive lines.

Especially with his ability to either run hard, pass or offload. As opposed to Klemmer who just runs straight/hard.

We have done the occasionally set play using Matagi, Paulo may do it a lot better!!

Said it tongue in cheek, surprised even you didn’t know this. I mean, you know everything else don’t you?

I suspect the delay had more to do with Junior's foot
