In short:

Parramatta star Junior Paulo's season is all but over after scans confirmed he suffered a Lisfranc injury in his foot in Thursday night's loss to the Rabbitohs.

Paulo has been ruled out for eight weeks, which effectively ends his 2024 season, with the bottom-placed Eels no hope of making the finals.

What's next?

Parramatta faces the Gold Coast Titans next Saturday away from home as the club awaits a decision on who its next full-time head coach will be.

Parramatta's year from hell has continued, with Junior Paulo's season effectively over after scans confirmed a serious foot injury.

Scans confirmed on Friday that Paulo had suffered a Lisfranc injury in his foot in Thursday night's 32-16 loss to South Sydney, ruling the prop out for eight weeks and almost certainly ending his season.

The news came as interim coach Trent Barrett turned the heat on his players for being the architects of their own downfall, with the Eels back at the bottom of the NRL ladder.

The defeat — the club's fourth in a row — came after a week in which it emerged that star halfback Mitchell Moses had unloaded on his teammates and the club's hierarchy in a post-match tirade after the previous week's loss to Newcastle.
