Eels: 1 Corey Norman, 2 Jarryd Hayne, 3 Michael Jennings, 4 Clint Gutherson (c), 5 George Jennings, 6 Jaeman Salmon, 7 Mitchell Moses, 8 Siosaia Vave, 9 Reed Mahoney, 10 Tim Mannah (c), 11 Marata Niukore, 12 Tepai Moeroa, 13 Nathan Brown
Interchange: 14 Will Smith, 15 Kane Evans, 16 Peni Terepo, 17 Brad Takairangi
Reserves: 18 Bevan French, 19 David Gower, 20 Oregan Kaufusi, 21 Raymond Stone
Despite a rare win last-start, Eels coach Brad Arthur has implemented a major reshuffle. Rookie Jaeman Salmon starts at five-eighth with Corey Norman taking over at fullback, moving Clint Gutherson to centre, Jarryd Hayne to wing and Bevan French out with Will Smith returning on the bench.

Thank fuck no French!
How in hell do we still have two captains and ones Tim Mannah?
" sigh "
Can only imagine Smith is more to cover for Salmon and that position than for the 9 spot. Gutho is in the centres and Norms at fullback. Its therefore possible for Gutho to slot in at 9 to give Mahoney a rest, or play there in set times as well.
French is on the extended bench
I think if Salmon needs a rest, Norman goes back to 5/8. This is an interesting backline, and may be a prelude to 2019. If Norman stays with us next year , fullback would be a good option. I still think he is at his best playing there.
Good try. Maybe wait until the club releases it haha
AAAARRRRHHHHH the team has been released on the eels web site and its as shown in this blog.
Who do Parra have to play against this week?
To be honest, I haven't known who our opponents would be each week for the past couple/or few months. I only watch our games if we won. Seeing how injury depleted our team was up untill a month or so ago, (still missing Manu, T-Rex, Kaysa, Matagi, & now French) why watch em' when you know we just didn't have the personnel to win? It's like watching your mum get bashed and you can't do anything about it.
I use to watch all 8 games religiously every single week, plus a couple of Super League games too.
I don't watch the Thursday Night Footy Show on ch.9 or any NRL 360 shows anymore either.
I only watch The Matty Johns Show twice a week plus the Sunday Morning Footy Show and that's it.
