Parramatta has returned online trolls mocking coach Brad Arthur for selecting his son Jake to the LNR team.
There was a torrent of online abuse following the 35-4 defeat in Darwin on Saturday night, with faceless trolls accusing Arthur of nepotism.

After a series of injuries to his back, Jake was brought back to fifth place the previous week in the big win over Newcastle, with Dylan Brown in the middle and the coach kept them in those positions for the Cowboys.
However, Jake was ineffective in Darwin, but was hardly alone in this regard, with the Eels overtaken in the park.
Eels posted two messages on their Twitter account, asking fans to fire their 19-year-old boy: “Guys. Give a little confidence. It doesn’t always have to be black! ” and “Arthur’s joke is enough. It’s not funny “, which were later deleted.

Eels CEO Jim Sarantinos told The Daily Telegraph that the club has zero tolerance for social media abuse.
“Our fans are passionate and we understand the disappointment that comes with a loss,” he said. “However, it is completely unacceptable when comments become abusive and extremely personal.”
