With Chanel Harris-Tavita returning from a foot injury last week for the first time since round two, Brown injected Walsh into the game with 26 minutes to play in last Sunday’s disastrous 38-32 loss to Manly.

It was confirmed on Tuesday that Peta Hiku’s shoulder injury will rule him out for the rest of the season.

Magic Moments: Brimson shows Sharks a clean pair of heels Every club was notified last week that if they played players from their NRL squad in second-tier matches that those players would not be able to re-join the NRL squad while ever we were at level three protocols, NRL head of football Graham Annesley said.

Brown s potential replacement is interesting, with back-up half Will Smith sidelined by a broken thumb. Jakob Arthur, the son of coach Brad Arthur, may well take the No.6 jersey. There s talk that maybe Jake Arthur is in contention, the son of the coach, Eels legend Peter Sterling said on
But how exactly does the school foster so much talent? The work starts from when they re in Year 7. We want them to realise that it s not just football, Beacroft said. If we tell every kid that they re going to be an NRL player, you re doing them an injustice because they re not all going to make it. We want them to be good people, have great opportunities and be prepared for the rest of their lives as well.
