Origin: Maroons half Daly Cherry-Evans says he hasn't taken much note of comments made by Blues legend Andrew Johns ahead of game two in Melbourne.
The Eels have unleashed the son of Matt Arthur in a big look to the future, attempting to solve their hooker headache that’s been an issue since Reed Mahoney’s departure.
His father, Brad Arthur, was sacked by Eels powerbrokers just over a month ago, but that hasn’t stopped the club from rewarding the rising star. The young gun has already played 14 NSW Cup games, making his debut in 2023 before becoming a mainstay this season at hooker. Their halves combination has been an issue since the start of the season, and Adam O’Brien has chopped and changed with all three of Jackson Hastings, Jack Cogger and Tyson Gamble partnering each other at some point across 16 rounds.
“I think Will’s still learning the game out here to be honest. I don’t know how many games Joey has watched of NSW Cup, but he hasn’t had many back-to-back good ones.” Cortic has been linked with a move to the Super League and is reportedly on the cusp of signing a three-year deal with the Catalans. But after leaving the Raiders in 2021, he played one injury-plagued season with the Bulldogs before returning to the Green Machine on a three-year deal.
Pangai Jr quit the NRL last year but his foray into full-time professional boxing lasted just three fights before he was knocked out in the first round by heavyweight Kenny Niko. It’s the price of one game of success, but now Benji Marshall could have some big decisions to make moving forward. Justin Matamua could make way at lock when Isaiah Papalii returns, but David Klemmer has already dropped down the pecking order.
