Round 14 - Official Team List - Eels Blogs

The Dyldam Parramatta Eels side to take on the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park on Monday 17 June has been named by Head Coach Brad Arthur.

Arthur has made two changes to his Round 13 line up, with Bureta Fariamo recalled to the side, replacing Will Hopoate who is unavailable due to NSW Origin duties whilst forward Darcy Lussick returns from suspension, included on an extended bench.

The Round 13 clash will feature two milestones for the Blue and Gold, with Anthony Watmough playing his 300^th NRL game whilst Corey Norman plays his 100^th first grade game.

Watmough will become the 23^rd player to reach the milestone of 300 first grade games on Monday night. The lock made his NRL debut against the Storm, playing for the Northern Eagles at Brookvale Oval in 2002.

Kick off is at 7pm.

"Speaking off Pezet, Lorenzo and Twiddle played in the halves yesterday and were the best 2 players on the park. Lorenzo did overplay his hand a bit which is expected as he is learning. But Twiddle was amazing in essentially everything he did. Best…"

I like the look of this team, kinda. 88.24% to be exact.

  I'm guessing Manu will be suspended - which will put Alvaro on the bench.

Where is Seffa

So Daniel Alvaro gets dropped after playing 6 minutes of 1st grade. Great for his confidence! I'm hoping his original selection now dropping is due to salary cap restrictions.

  It most definitely is salary cap related. Lussick hasn't been available due to suspension and then last week through injury. This week he is available therefore we don't need a prop, so Alvaro can't play.

  Good to hear. I feel for the guy sitting on the bench for 2 weeks and not getting a proper Crack at 1st grade. Hopefully he can keep performing for Wenty and gets another shot in 2015 or to push for a spot in 2016.

Mannah and Mau won't play

Melbourne have pretty much named a team of nobodies. We don't win here, pencil us in for the spoon.
