Jarome Luai heads to Parramatta; injuries worsen. Javon Andrews debuts as halfback after strong NSW Cup performances.

It's been bad enough with the injuries and winning two games since Jarome Luai confirmed he was heading to Papua New Guinea in 2028; now he will head to Parramatta next season, and Adam Doueihi ruled himself out after successfully challenging his charge from Round 20.

Benji Marshall wanted him to play in the lock position instead of halfback, and it's led to more headlines in the news and speculation around whether there is more to the story.

What was positive in the chaos from Concord is the debut of Javon Andrews, who played in the halfback role against the Raiders on Saturday afternoon.

After impressive performances in NSW Cup, Benji thought it was the best time to establish him in the first-grade side.

The 27-year-old's decision only amplified concerns over whether Marshall has lost touch with his locker room, and came as his side needed to claim a crucial victory in the nation's capital to keep their hopes of making the finals for the first time since 2011 alive.
