ITS not only this year that NRL surprise packets Parramatta are focused on, they’re also preparing for the future with forwards Manu Ma’u, Kenny Edwards and centre Vai Toutai all re-signing with the club until 2017.

In a significant boost ahead of the club’s clash with North Queensland tomorrow night, the trio’s retention comes just 24 hours after boom winger Semi Radrada also extended his future at the club.

The re-signing of the club’s hottest young talent, under Eels coach Brad Arthur, suggests that for the first time in a long time, stability finally exists at the Eels.

“The good thing about it is their best years are ahead of them,’’ Arthur said of all three new re-signings.

“They’re only new to the NRL and they’re realising that they do have potential and an opportunity in life to make something of it.

“It’s about setting up their future and setting up our future as a club and really creating some stability with the staff that we’ve got here and the playing group.

“The pleasing for me is that these boys want to play for this club.’’
