Parramatta Eels deny rumors of Junior Paulo leaving, as he struggles with form and loses Origin spot.
The Parramatta Eels have put the kibosh on whispers swirling around their star front-rower Junior Paulo potentially leaving the club.
Paulo, who returned to the Eels in 2019 after a stint with the Canberra Raiders, has hit a rough patch this season.
Struggling to find consistent form on the field and often coming off the bench, he missed out on a State of Origin spot for the first time since 2019.
Despite representing Samoa 17 times and making 11 appearances for the NSW Blues between 2020 and 2023, the seasoned pro found himself edged out of the team by a slew of rising stars.
