Galuvao lands new NRL deal

Joe Galuvao's NRL career has been handed a lifeline with the former New Zealand Test forward agreeing to a two-year deal with Parramatta on Monday.

Galuvao will link with the Eels in 2008 and 2009 after falling out of favour at South Sydney this season.

The 29-year-old ended the season playing for Easts in the Queensland Cup and it was believed his NRL career was as good as over before the Eels swooped.
