Lets see what Evans has got after having a few weeks off.
Good luck Fish!
Congratulations to jaeman
A Tast Of Salmon huh? Could be good.
Why the hell hasn't Leleisiuao got a run over French? Seriously, we have nothing to lose at this stage give the bloke a shot i can guarantee he will put in a better effort than French's couple of runs a game.
Also Salmon probably just keep the bench warm, come on with 5 to go.
Not bad, good to see Salmon there, all in all not a bad side

Biography:
Parramatta Eels five-eighth Jaeman Salmon joined the Blue & Gold at the end of the 2017 season, signing with the club on a three year contract after playing in the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks NYC side.
Salmon, who is still eligible in the Jersey Flegg competition, was also an U16s and Under 18s NSW Origin representative.
A tall and skilful half, Salmon was a stand out in the Eels pre-season, with a strong fitness ability that saw his teammates liken the new recruit to Clint Gutherson.
Overcoming a neck and shoulder injury, Salmon spent a few weeks to start the 2018 season on the sideline before playing in the Eels Jersey Flegg side.
Let's hope they get the date right on his jersey - good on ya Jae
