NRL 2020: NZ Warriors loanees Daniel Alvaro, George Jennings returning to Parramatta Eels

  • 21/08/2020

NZ Warriors loan players Goerge Jennings and Daniel Alvaro will reportedly both return to the Parramatta Eels, after Sunday's game against the Canterbury Bulldogs.

Their four-week term is scheduled to end this weekend, and recruitment manager Peter O'Sullivan tells Stuff that they'll head back to the Eels to be part of their playoffs push.

"We'd really like to keep them in a perfect world, but Parramatta are preparing for their run into the semis," O'Sullivan tells Stuff.

"So they'll be wanting them to get back and there are contracts and a lot of other factors that go into it.

"We also need to make sure we’re giving the fellas we've got here a good shot at it as well.

"At this stage, they’ll be going back on Monday, but you never say never."

The Eels duo have impressed in their short time and were open to an extended stay with the club, particularly Jennings, who says he's enjoyed the regular game time.

"Obviously, I'd like to continue playing," Jennings said on Thursday. "But I think that decision isn't up to me. I'll do whatever both clubs want."

Manly Sea Eagles back Albert Hopoate is already in camp with the Warriors and will likely replace Jennings, while Jack Murchie and Josh Curran will shoulder more of the load in Alvaro's absence.
