Six Parramatta Eels Stars Earn Australian Representative Honours in Major Kangaroos Boost
In a proud moment for the Parramatta Eels and their devoted fanbase, six of the club’s brightest stars have been selected to represent Australia in the upcoming international rugby league fixtures. The announcement, made earlier today by the Australian Rugby League Commission, has sent waves of excitement through the NRL community and solidified Parramatta’s status as one of the most talent-rich clubs in the competition.
Among the standout selections are Clint Gutherson, Mitchell Moses, Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Junior Paulo, Will Penisini, and Dylan Brown, who have all been rewarded for their exceptional seasons. Their inclusion marks one of the largest Eels contingents in a Kangaroos squad in recent years—a testament to the club’s resurgence and consistency under head coach Brad Arthur.
Captain Clint Gutherson, renowned for his leadership and relentless work ethic, was visibly emotional following the news. “It’s an honour to pull on the green and gold. This is what every player dreams of,” Gutherson said. “To do it alongside so many of my Parramatta teammates makes it even more special.”
Halfback Mitchell Moses, who enjoyed one of his best NRL campaigns to date, will play a crucial role in the Kangaroos’ attacking structure. His precise kicking game and playmaking vision have earned him widespread praise, making his selection almost inevitable. Meanwhile, powerhouse forwards Junior Paulo and Reagan Campbell-Gillard will add size, aggression, and experience to the Australian pack, ensuring dominance in the middle of the field.
Will Penisini’s inclusion reflects his rise as one of the NRL’s most dynamic young centres, while Dylan Brown’s creativity and composure continue to shine at both club and representative level.
Head coach Mal Meninga commended the Eels players for their dedication, saying, “These guys have shown not just form but character throughout the season. They represent what we want in the Kangaroos jersey—commitment, resilience, and pride.”
For Parramatta fans, this is more than just a representative milestone—it’s a sign that the club’s development system and culture are thriving once again. After years of rebuilding and near-misses, the Eels are now producing elite players capable of performing on rugby league’s biggest stage.
As the green and gold prepare for battle, the sight of six Eels standing shoulder to shoulder in national colours will be a proud reminder of the club’s growing influence on the game’s highest level.
