In a dramatic move that has sent shockwaves through the NRL community, the Parramatta Eels have announced the suspension of star halfback Mitchell Moses and a three-year ban for forward Ryan Matterson.
The club released a brief statement earlier today confirming the disciplinary actions, citing “serious breaches of club conduct and values.” While specific details surrounding the incidents have yet to be publicly disclosed, sources within the club suggest the decision followed an internal investigation.
“Parramatta Eels have a proud history and a strong commitment to upholding our club standards. We take any actions that compromise those values very seriously,” the statement read.
Mitchell Moses, a key figure in the Eels’ lineup since 2017, has been temporarily suspended from all club activities, with his future at the club uncertain pending further review. Ryan Matterson, who has faced disciplinary issues in the past, has been handed a more severe penalty—an immediate three-year ban from the club.
Fans and analysts alike have expressed shock at the announcement, with many calling for more transparency regarding the club’s decision. NRL officials have stated they are aware of the situation and are monitoring developments closely.
As the Eels scramble to fill the gaps left by two of their most experienced players, questions loom about the impact this will have on the club’s 2025 campaign.
