Eels star facing ban after knocking over NRL referee
Parramatta playmaker Dylan Brown is facing a one-match ban after being accused of knocking over referee Gerard Sutton in the Eels' loss to Canterbury. In a dramatic postscript to the 30-12 defeat, Brown was on Sunday night hit with a grade-two contrary conduct charge for contact with Sutton. Replays show the Eels five-eighth came into contact with Sutton while running through on a kick chase in the first half. The NRL's match review committee had the option to fine Brown, but decided on a grade-two charge. That brings with it a one-match ban if Brown enters an early guilty plea, or the Kiwi representative would risk a second game on the sideline if he fights it and loses. Brown's charge comes after Melbourne star Harry Grant and Cronulla fullback Will Kennedy were also banned when accused of pushing referees last year. Parramatta have the bye next week, meaning they should have Mitch Moses back from NSW State of Origin duties by the time Brown serves his ban against Gold Coast in round 16. Moses himself avoided any charge for his high tackle on Kurt Mann in the loss, meaning he has no judiciary issue hanging over his head for Origin II. Bulldogs second-rower Viliame Kikau is facing a fine for dangerous contact on Moses' legs when kicking, for which he was sin-binned by Sutton. Canterbury can also breathe a sigh of relief with prop Daniel Suluka-Fifita able to accept a fine for a first-half shoulder charge on Jack Williams.

Lomax makes strong NSW case as Eels belt dismal Knights
Zac Lomax has intensified Laurie Daley's NSW selection headache by starring in Parramatta's 28-6 defeat of woeful Newcastle on return from injury. There was little more Lomax could've done to hold off selection rivals Jacob Kiraz and Tom Trbojevic on Friday night, scoring twice and running for a game-high 259 metres in his only game before State of Origin teams are picked. Parramatta's right winger showed no signs of the foot injury that had sidelined him since round five as the Eels produced their most emphatic win of the Jason Ryles era yet. Dylan Brown set up the Eels' first try and sealed victory on a burst in the final 15 minutes, tormenting the Newcastle side who will make him the NRL's richest man next season. Parra party 👋 #NRLKnightsEels — NRL (@NRL) May 16, 2025 It's the Knights' immediate future of most pressing concern, though. After two weeks of improvements, the Knights' league-worst attack regressed at McDonald Jones Stadium, benefiting little from Adam O'Brien's call to parachute Tyson Gamble into the halves. The Knights were unable to score against the NRL's worst defensive side until the final five minutes and have now been held scoreless in eight of 20 halves this season. Points flowed more easily for the Eels, whose five-eighth Brown put halfback Mitch Moses over with a cross-field kick after 10 minutes. Lomax scored the Eels' second try after they shifted right on the back of a Junior Paulo offload and he was over again in the second half when the Eels regathered another Brown kick. Lomax too STRONG! 💪 #NRLKnightsEels — NRL (@NRL) May 16, 2025 Knight second-rower Kai Pearce-Paul went to the sin bin for pushing Moses over in the ruck and, in the Eels' next attacking set, Josh Addo-Carr flew down the right edge before finding Brown on his inside. Right winger James Schiller scored a late consolation try for the Knights but it was much too late. Knights centre Dane Gagai had a tough evening while becoming the 54th player to reach 300 games, dropping the ball twice in the first half.
