Here's a summary:
## Key Points
1. Parramatta Eels' Joash Papalii is set to make his starting debut in the No.6 jersey against the Titans.
2. The opportunity arises due to suspensions/injuries to key players Dylan Brown and Mitch Moses.
3. Dean Hawkins will start at No.7.
4. Papalii has played 3 games as an interchange player and has experience playing in the halves at NSW Cup level.
5. Teammate Zac Lomax praises Papalii, saying he's "light on his feet" and "trains really well."

I reckon Lomax is named with Simonsson in extended bench coming in for either Lomax or Russell.
Analyst, is this a personal view or does it come from one of your many "sauces".
Given today is Sunday and the teams doesn't get announced untill Tuesday and they have never leaked a team early before, why is this so?
It maybe Josh is the new 5/8, but I qustion why would anyone unofficially tell YOU!
Your last scoop was Bob Dyer's pick a box and you only new that because you were screwing "Dolly".
My personal view is i would like to see one of our young guns get a go, Twidle, Tatiana? although as you say Joash arguably should get a chance. because I think he maybe seen as a one trick pony if he doesn't.
You make the argument that Lomax says he is light on his feet. So is Moses, just doesn't get to stand on them very often? lol
It's from an article today he has summarised it
I hope the kid kills it a no.6 and Ryles plays him there for the remainder of the season, and pushes DB to the centres. Not many half decent halves out there, besides maybe Brandon Smith. Would love to see more talented youths in our spine.
Just look at Galvin, when Tigers took a chance to blood a young kid.
Yeah and he ended up a spoilt brat
I don't particarly like him CE but he hasn't done anything to say he is a spoilt brat.
Lets see him get caight in a couple of night clubs or toilet sex before we start the crucifiction.....our bias is showing, but he is just a kid trying to be a very good football player.
If had signed with Parra I wonder if we would all be thinking very differently.
Tall Poppy Syndrome is alive and well in our supporter base,.
From memory, Lomax backed up on Friday for Dragosn last year so I got no doubt he will back up for us again.
Congratulations, I hope he goes well
I've been saying this, that he should be the 6, you could even put a volkman or a hands on the bench
