Here’s the latest on Chris Phelan, based on recent public reporting:
-
It’s been reported that Chris Phelan, the former Parramatta Eels forward and Queensland State of Origin representative, passed away at age 70 after battling pancreatic cancer. Several outlets confirmed the news and tributes followed from the Eels and the rugby league community.[1][2][3]
-
The Parramatta Eels and the Queensland Rugby League both issued statements, with clubs indicating they will honor his memory (e.g., wearing black armbands at forthcoming matches). This aligns with standard club tributes for past players who contributed to grand final campaigns in the 1980s.[2][3]
-
Background: Phelan was part of Parramatta’s 1982 and 1983 premiership squads and represented Queensland in four State of Origin games, contributing to the Eels’ early-’80s success and the front-line era of Queensland rugby league.[4]
