Brown's potential replacement is interesting, with back-up half Will Smith sidelined by a broken thumb. Jakob Arthur, the son of coach Brad Arthur, may well take the No.6 jersey.<\/p>\n
"There's talk that maybe Jake Arthur is in contention, the son of the coach," Eels legend Peter Sterling said on The Sunday Footy Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n Fittler said that Arthur Jr would give Brown even more to ponder during his looming break, after an underwhelming start to the season that is at odds with second-placed Parramatta's 8-1 record.<\/p>\n "I think it will be interesting, Dylan Brown. Dylan Brown hasn't had a good season," Fittler said on The Sunday Footy Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n "He's had one try and one try assist the whole year. He's had that many cold drops that I haven't seen from anyone else in the competition. <\/p>\n "I don't think his head's right into the game at the moment. I think what he does the next three weeks, if he's out for three weeks, is going to be the making or breaking of Parramatta because I don't know if they can win unless someone else, there's another point of attack other than Mitchell [Moses] doing all the work.<\/p>\n "Jake Arthur will come in. They reckon he's a great trainer, the players really respect him. I think it will be a bit tricky with the coach obviously, being his son, so I think he'll be a bit hesitant to bring him in because there'll be some pressure on him.<\/p>\n "But from what I hear at Parramatta and from what he does at reserve grade, he kills it. So I really look forward to seeing the decision Brad makes.<\/p>\n "But with Dylan, that's going to be very, very important because he hasn't been doing much and this is most probably a wake-up call."<\/p>\n Brown, 20, still has just 40 NRL matches to his credit. He is rated a potential superstar by Immortal Andrew Johns. He scored a 75th minute try against the Roosters to cap a 31-18 win<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Eels are also sweating on the availability of gun hooker Reed Mahoney, who failed an HIA during the win over the Roosters, halting a run of superb form.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dylan Brown's looming suspension is a wake-up call amid a season of disappointing form that has Parramatta's premiership hopes in the balance, NRL great Brad […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68963"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=68963"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68965,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68963\/revisions\/68965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=68963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=68963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=68963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/p>\n
