Eels sign Fa'aoso

Parramatta has confirmed the signing of former Castleford, Roosters and Penrith forward Richard Fa'aoso. Fa'aso's signing, follows the move of Michael Vella to English Super League newbie Hull KR.

While Fa'aso was a back-rower while in Australia, Parramatta is more likely to use him in a front row capacity.

The Eels go into the 2007 season with six props with NRL experience - Nathan Cayless, Fuifui Moimoi, Aaron Cannings, Josh Cordoba, Justin Tsoulos and Fa'aoso, while the likes of Junior Paulo and Brendan Oake provide additional depth.
