PARRAMATTA EELS JOIN NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS TO SIGN THIS GREAT………..

Fears around Dylan Brown’s fitness have been allayed after scans revealed he doesn’t need surgery on a knee injury.

Brown suffered the problem in the Eels’ big win over Wests Tigers on Friday night.

Brown left the field in the second half and coach Trent Barrett revealed post-match there were fears that he had torn his ACL.

The Eels already face an uncertain preseason with an expected clean out from the new coach Jason Ryles.

“Obviously, they [the medical team] are a bit concerned, but fingers crossed for Dylan,” Barrett said.

The Eels released a statement on Saturday afternoon confirming good news for the club and Brown.

“Dylan had scans on his knee today, which did not find as much damage to his ACL as first thought,” the club said.

“He doesn’t require surgery. The Eels medical team have begun preparing his rehabilitation plan.”

Brown has been one of Parramatta’s most reliable players, having played in all 24 of their matches.
