@TheParraEels Not my captain

Round 16, 2025. Rabbitohs down to the bare bones against the Storm. Battered by injuries, written off by everyone, yet somehow they push Melbourne all the way to golden point.

And Jai Arrow played his heart out for the full 80.

Huge defensive efforts. Massive carries. A try-saving tackle to keep Souths alive. The type of performance that summed up his entire 2025 season.

Then comes the ending.

Papenhuyzen field goal. Game over.

After the siren, Arrow was absolutely gutted. No handshakes. He stormed straight off the field, kicked over a bench seat on the way to the sheds, and later admitted it was a “bit of a hissy fit” caused by pure disappointment.

Some people hated the reaction. Honestly? I loved it.

Not because of the bench kick or the no handshakes — but because you could see how much the game genuinely meant to him. It wasn’t fake passion or robotic “good game brother” stuff five seconds after a heartbreaking loss. It was raw emotion from someone who had emptied the tank for his club.

Looking back now, it hits even harder.

Arrow played every single game in 2025 despite his own shoulder issues, carried a depleted Souths pack all year and won the George Piggins Medal as the club’s best and fairest.

That moment after the Storm loss captured exactly who he was as a player: tough, emotional, passionate and willing to give absolutely everything for the jersey.

Now he’s facing a far bigger fight than footy. ❤️

@RugbyLeagueNews Penalty try should've just been a sin bin but calling the hip drop sin bin ridiculous is crazy

[The League Scene @LeagueScenePod]

BREAKING: Zac Lomax has agreed that he won’t return to the NRL until the 2028 season after coming to an out-of-court settlement with Parramatta.

The impasse between the parties is finally over, after Melbourne also agreed to pay $250,000 of the Eels’ legal costs.

@JadeJohnso43747 @SuthoDan2 The precedent should be set after the val holmes photo in 2023

@samcurr95262813 Reckon Samrani 18 in the 6-man bench?

[Craig @EelsTCT]

You will not find any media article like this. If you want clarity about what has happened thus far in the legal process involving the Eels & Lomax, what lies ahead, & a summation & opinion on the known evidence to date, then this is a must read
