Eels – Dylan Brown

Dylan Brown has been a mainstay for the Eels for several seasons now, but he took his game to a whole new level in 2024.

With Mitchell Moses missing much of the year through injury, Brown was handed the job of playmaker and thrived.

In a poorly-performed side, he was among their best every week, spurring his troops on and courageously taking on bigger opponents time after time.

Brown’s sixth season as an Eel was without doubt his finest and he finished the year with five tries and 21 try assists, playing in all 24 games.

If the Eels can get more value out of Moses in 2025, and Brown continues his stellar form, things are looking up for the team at the start of the Jason Ryles era.
