A boost for the Eels with star winger Josh Addo-Carr (thumb) back on deck so Sean Russell moves to centre and Brian Kelly drops to the extended bench. Jack Williams slides to prop in place of the suspended J'maine Hopgood with Kelma Tuilagi joining the starting side. Sam Tuivaiti has again been named in No.15 and will be hoping for game time after a reshuffle last week saw Joash Papalii sent into the game when Isaiah Iongi left the field for a HIA.

        This seals the deal on Pezet for me as it shows his head is already at the Broncos.

        It's extraordinarily co-incidental and convenient the Barnett Bombshell and now this Pezet mini-drama soap-opera are released just before an important match for both the Broncos and the Eels. Mmm.

        Certainly is a coincidence that it came up today HOE.

        wow! Can't blame you BEM!
        
        when did he say this, recently or after signing with broncos initially? Very much hope it's the latter!

Pleased to see Kelly out...phew. Good on JR.

Thought Simmo would sit it out for Samrani, maybe simply opting for experience against Broncs

Not the team I would pick. Good luck to them. A bit worrying JR said we are miles ahead of last year. We got rolled by more by a worse Melbourne. I don't know how that's an improvement. Onwards and upwards!

How does Moretti, Guymer and Samrani not get a run in the team. This is the future honestly these guys will walk and we sign De Belin for a ridiculous reason. Another Stephen Kearney alike happpening
Francis Nelson March 10, 2026 at 7:03pm

I have said in the past... Penisini needs to have a good look at himself
Muttman March 10, 2026 at 7:04pm

I hope the Eels win.
But that Storm game was unbelievably damaging. I can't see them turning it around so quickly. A better performance but still a sizeable loss is on the cards.

  I think some here would accept a better performance loss if it was like 24-12 or something like that. If they hit 40 or more.....
