In a stunning move, the Parramatta Eels have announced that star players Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Dylan Brown will be banned from the club for the next three years, effectively sidelining them for the remainder of their contracts.
The decision came after an internal investigation into allegations of misconduct, which the club has yet to fully disclose. Sources close to the situation have suggested that both players were involved in serious off-field incidents that violated the club’s code of conduct. While the details remain under wraps, the Eels’ management made it clear that the players’ actions had left the club with no choice but to impose a severe penalty.
Reagan Campbell-Gillard, a powerful forward, and Dylan Brown, one of the Eels’ most promising young talents, have been key figures in the team’s recent success. Their absence will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the squad as the club navigates the upcoming seasons without two of its star performers.
Parramatta CEO, who addressed the media earlier today, expressed regret over the situation but reiterated the club’s commitment to upholding its values and ensuring a positive environment for all players and staff.
“We understand the disappointment this brings to our fans and the wider rugby league community,” the CEO said. “However, we must prioritize the integrity of the Parramatta Eels and the long-term success of the club.”
The Eels have yet to confirm what the next steps for Campbell-Gillard and Brown will be, but both players are expected to seek opportunities at other clubs or possibly take time to address the personal matters that led to their bans.
The ban has already sparked widespread reactions across the NRL, with many questioning the severity of the punishment and others voicing support for the Eels’ decision to stand firm. Fans of the Eels are now left to ponder what the future holds for their team without two of their biggest stars.
As the story develops, more details are expected to emerge, and fans will be watching closely to see if the ban impacts the club’s performance in the coming seasons.
