The General Manager Frank Ponissi of Melbourne Storm has finally agreed with the deal transaction of….

Boom rookie Sua Fa’alogo, one of the most promising young players in the NRL, has signed a massive five-year deal extension with Melbourne, securing his future.

Towards the close of the previous season, the 20-year-old made his first grade debut for the Storm and made an incredible impression against the Broncos.

Before long, Fa’alago would represent Samoa internationally, competing in the Pacific Championships and making a name for himself that rival clubs would take note of.

But in a show of loyalty, the young fullback has opted to commit long-term with the Storm and expressed his gratitude towards the club.

“It is really unbelievable for me to be playing next to guys like [Cameron] Munster, Paps [Ryan Papenhuyzen], Harry [Grant] and Hughesy [Jahrome Hughes],” Fa’alogo said.

“I am a proud Melbourne boy and proud Samoan.

“My family is here and I loved playing footy with Northern Thunder growing up. To have the chance to be part of the Storm is a dream come true.

“I can’t thank Craig (Bellamy) and the club enough for what they have done for me over the last couple of seasons and hope I can repay them on the field when my time comes.”

Considering that Ryan Papenhuyzen is in the starting lineup for the Storm in the opening round of the season, Fa’alogo is in the running for a spot in the starting lineup.

But rugby league greats Andrew Johns and Brad Fittler, who compared Fa’alago to past Storm legends, pushed Craig Bellamy to incorporate him in a utility-style role in 2024 on Wide World of Sports’ Freddy and The Eighth.
