The Parramatta Eels side to take on the New Zealand Warriors in Round Six of the NRL Telstra Premiership has been confirmed by Head Coach Brad Arthur.

Arthur has made a handful of changes to his side named earlier in the week, with Bevan French ruled out through injury, whilst Daniel Alvaro drops off an extended bench with Peni Terepo named in the side.

Frank Pritchard and Nathan Brown move into the starting side with Tepai Moeroa and Beau Scott moving onto the bench.

Kirisome Auva'a will make his Club debut, becoming Parramatta Eels official player 786.

  Yeah thought Gutho would go to fullback with French out considering Moses will be here soon

Looking forward to seeing Peni out there today.

Thanks Ron, I wonder what the thinking is for both Scott & Meoroa being benched?

I like this team

Peni will privide more punch, his runs are something we have missed. Like Gutho at fullback. But think at some stages will see Guth, Hoffman and Taka swapping

This side makes a lot of sense.
Normally if Mosses weren't confirmed to come to Parra, BA would have kept the halves intact and possibly move Hoffman to fullback. With Mosses now certain to partner Norman in the near future, may as well get Gutho into fullback and hopefully centre/wing when French is back and Mosses arrives.
