Parramatta Eels figures defend player Dylan Walker following circulating social media rumours. According to reporting in both Sydney and Brisbane, Parramatta players and club boss Jim Sarantinos publicly back Walker in response to claims gaining traction online. The coverage characterizes the response as a club and player effort to address misinformation and clarify their position. While the reports focus on the fact of the defence and the involvement of teammates and senior management, they do not provide specific details about the content of the rumours in the material supplied. Both outlets treat the issue as an internal response by the club, with Sarantinos and members of the playing group speaking out to support Walker. The common theme across sources is that Walker has backing from within the club as rumours spread through social media, and the Eels seek to publicly refute or discourage the claims by emphasizing their support for him.
