Eels Farewell Dylan Brown with Commanding Victory Over Knights in Season Finale

Dominant Display at CommBank Stadium

The Eels got off to a perfect start with Dylan Brown scoring in the opening set, followed by Zac Lomax’s successful conversion putting them ahead 6-0.

Mitchell Moses showcased his brilliance with a spectacular 70-metre run from dummy half for the first of his three tries. The scoring continued as Moses secured his second try after orchestrating a brilliant movement involving Will Penisini and Zac Lomax. Ryley Smith added to the tally with his first NRL try, extending the Eels’ lead to 22-4.

Knights Struggle Amid Injuries

While Jermaine McEwen managed to score for the Knights, their challenges mounted as they lost both fullback Fletcher Hunt and halfback Jack Cogger to Head Injury Assessments.

Milestone Match and Farewells

The match marked Dylan Brown’s final appearance for Parramatta, playing at five-eighth against the club he will join next year. It was also significant as Adam O’Brien’s final game in charge of the Knights.

Season Implications

While neither team will feature in the finals, the match held significance for both sides. The Eels aimed to conclude their largely positive year with a strong home performance, while the Knights faced pressure to avoid the wooden spoon, dependent on the Titans’ result.

The victory continued the Eels’ strong recent form, having won three of their last four games, while extending their winning streak against the Knights to two consecutive matches.
