Eels in the media

[Gronk]

JA is the second coming of Joey Johns according to the TCT, i cant wait till we have seen the back of the overrated Brown and it will time for JA to shine.

"It's very exciting"

They have certainly said a few times that he is carving them up in opposed sessions. They have also said that he’s not close to the starting 17 unless we have a few broken legs.

If this kid’s name was John Doe, we’d be (genuinely) excited. Odd that it’s become a sarcasm-a-thon. He’s 19 so still eligible / barely ineligible for SG Ball.

Not quite:

JA is demanding inclusion in the top 17 for the season opener against the Titans.

As I left Kellyville after this morning’s session, I couldn’t think of one reason for BA to not select his son. His surname shouldn’t be an obstacle, despite what some critics might think of coaches selecting their offspring.

Eels Pre-Season Training - January 31, 2022: A Selection Dilemma

A selection headache is looming for Parramatta Eels coach Brad Arthur. Emerging half Jake Arthur, the son of the coach, is currently one of the stars of this preseason. Make no mistake, in terms of his consistency and his recent dominance of opposed sessions, JA is demanding inclusion in the top 17

At least he's being compared to other Parra players so there might be something to it.

[Poupou Escobar]

He looks like the type of player opposition fans hate. I hope he also plays like one.

Nice of the Waratahs to throw him some merch
