Greg Leleisiuao will play NRL in 2017
Mark my words: Eels winger Greg Leleisiuao will play first grade at some stage this season. Fans of the NYC will remember the nuggety outside back from his days with the Gold Coast Titans, and the youngster has carried that form to Sydney since linking up with Parramatta. Leleisiuao was our player of the round last week after running for 247 metres and breaking 18 tackles against the Warriors and he was equally impressive against the Tigers on Monday with plenty of tough carries and an acrobatic leap to bat a touch-finder back into the field of play. While those were all solid contributions, it was his scintillating solo try to start the second stanza that really stood out, with Leleisiuao beating six would-be defenders with a powerful charge through the middle before he swerved past the fullback to score under the posts.
