The Parramatta Eels side to take on the Penrith Panthers in their pre-season trial clash at Pepper Stadium, Penrith on Saturday 18 February has been named by Head Coach Brad Arthur.
Arthur has named a strong Blue & Gold line up for the clash as the side looks to rebound after suffering a 30-18 victory against the Gold Coast Titans last week.

if we can match this team it would be a huge positive, I know its a trial but that panthers side is a top 4 team at worst. Imo
Dargan has leapfrogged Fogarty
Nah, BA can't risk the Fog when he is due to pull on the 6 jersey for us in the first round.
;)
The Fog is pretty short so pretty easy to be leapfrogged
Matangi starting against his old team. Got to love that!
Pritchard getting tested to play 80 mins? Maybe i'm wrong there?
Dargan getting a shot which will be good to watch and to see how he combines with Gutho in case we need to rely on this combo through the season?
Not our top squad but pretty darn close to it.
Grunta, seriously mate there is NO N in MATAGI's name.
Interesting with the 9 spots although I am not overtly surprised. King and Kaysa shared the minutes last weekend in Alice and gets another 80 in the earlier game. Kaysa is now given the spot for the whole game in the top squad to see how he goes, but its a bigger call on him than what King has had to cover.
Depending on how long and how well he goes in the main squad may go a long way to sorting out that spot for the season opener.
Of note is that IDG is not listed anywhere either.
