Tips: Mitchell Moses is touch and go for the Eels with coach Brad Arthur revealing that the halfback might be sidelined for at least another week. “Might be a week or two but it’s hard to say... will have to wait and see early next week when he runs,” Arthur said. Marata Niukore went off with a meniscus injury in the loss to Canberra, with Bryce Cartwright, Keegan Hipgrave and Wiremu Greig options to come in. Blake Ferguson was strong in his return and is likely to retain his spot on the wing. Tom Opacic is likely to come back in for Will Penisini in the centres after he was rested last week.
Please dear God no more Jake Arthur.

Greig is injured till Ed 22/23 I think. Doesn't Opacic have to quarantine? Or did he not leave the bubble
I think he left the bubble to go to his brothers funeral
Opacic in Waqa Bleak out.
Will Smith in JA out.
nail on the head
I think we all know by now, BA cuts and pastes. I am guessing it will be the same team this week, bar maybe Tom returning and a replacement for Marata
Doubt Wiremu Greig is an option to come in. He's done his syndesmosis, required tight-rope surgery, probably a couple more weeks off.
Opacic has been very good. If he didn't have hands like the proverbial feet he'd be an origin shoe in I reckon.
Waqa Blake remains terrible in my opinion. He wouldn't be in my 17. Penisini looked more threatening and at least takes the space on the outside instead of stopping and stepping back into the traffic every cunting time.
Haha! Too right! Penisini on debut looked more dangerous than the attack stifler.
surely even Brad would have dropped him to Wenty after last week if he had oppa available.
No moses no win
Rest him if he isn't 100
