Recalled Parramatta forward Nathan Brown said the past month has “been very tough” as he made his return to the top grade against the Tigers on Saturday night.
Brown has been in the headlines in recent weeks since being axed from the NRL. He has languished in reserve grade since round 14 and now faces an uncertain future at the Eels after being given permission to leave the club.
“It’s good to be back,” Brown said. “The legs don’t feel too bad. I always want to play first grade. I really enjoyed it.”
Despite having 12 months left on his $500,000 contract the ex-NSW forward is unlikely to remain at the Eels. His adversaries on Saturday night may be yet be his likely destination with the Tigers discussing a potential homecoming for the junior Tiger – who played one first grade game at the club in 2013.
