Latest posts Latest posts Eels team list: Brown dropped as 18th man It’s been a controversial week for coach Jason Ryles, with rising talent Joash Papalii being handed the No. 6 jersey this week instead of Newcastle-bound Dylan Brown who was originally named at 18th man, but has now been dropped entirely. Ryles has stood by the decision, and has kept the same 1-17 he named on Tuesday. 1. Isaiah Iongi, 2. Zac Lomax, 3. Bailey Simonsson, 4. Sean Russell, 5. Josh Addo-Carr, 6. Joash Papalii, 7.
