SURGERY FOR JOASH PAPALII

The decision to give Dylan Brown one last hurrah before joining Newcastle on a $14 million mega deal was “not a reward, but a mark of respect for the way he’s handled himself”, says Parramatta coach Jason Ryles.

 

“I’d been thinking about Dylan for a while, and while we were never going to make room for him this last game, the opportunity came up,” Ryles said.

 

“Joash Papalii was booked in for surgery on his wrist, but the surgeon could only get it done early Monday, so that meant we could kick things along a little quicker [and bring back Brown].

 

“[The recall] is not a reward for Dylan, but a mark of respect from myself and the club. He’s been exceptional, the way he’s conducted himself since the news.”

  • Unlike Brad who was a right prick when it came to decent send off for several  Parra stalwarts , was always about the Arthur's and clique's which Ryles blew out of the water 

    • Accurate 

    • So true

       

    • Fui sadly comes to mind. Never got the send off he deserved.

  • Joash can still play as he's been named the 18th man. Its probably something minor that he's been carrying for a while.

"For 6 he offered no long or short kicking game, can't defend in the line, has no speed. I am really unsure why they are persisting with him at 6. He is probably a centre at best but again would be one of the slowest in the comp in both positions.…"
