Maika Sivo has been one of the most consistent try scorers in the NRL in recent years. The Fijian flyer has scored 94 tries in 108 appearances for the Parramatta Eels. Now Super League clubs are circling to sign him.
Therefore, it was a huge surprise when news broke this morning that Sivo is likely to be made available for transfer. The Eels, who are searching for a new head coach, are reportedly willing to let Sivo leave, despite being under contract for next season.
The news is likely to put several Super League sides on alert, as players of Sivo’s calibre rarely hit the open market. His current salary of $550,000 may be a stumbling block for some clubs. However, for those with a marquee slot available, Sivo would be a brilliant addition to the squad.
A move to the Super League is now a realistic prospect. We have identified five clubs that may be interested in snapping Sivo up for 2025.
