The Parramatta Eels have officially parted ways with Maika Sivo, the Fijian flyer whose incredible try-scoring prowess captivated fans.
However, his defensive struggles led to some time on the sideline during the tumultuous 2024 season.
Despite his undeniable talents on the field, Sivo's departure was inevitable as the team seeks to address defensive concerns.
The decision to release him from his contract allows him to explore opportunities at a new club, although it remains uncertain where he will land.
"We want to thank Maika, Korina, and their family for their contributions to the club.
We wish them all the best in their future endeavors, both in the world of rugby league and beyond," stated Parramatta general manager Mark O'Neill.
As the Eels bid farewell to Sivo, they look to the future with optimism and a renewed focus on strengthening their defensive line.
The off-season offers a chance for the team to regroup and strategize for a successful comeback in the upcoming season.
