The Parramatta Eels face the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday 6 June in Round Four of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
With 24 hours to go until the clash, Blue & Gold Head Coach Brad Arthur has reduced his squad to 19 players, thanks to Taylor & Scott Lawyers!
Ray Stone drops off the interchange with Oregon Kaufusi called onto the bench. Will Smith also drops off the reserves with George Jennings and David Gower remaining.

Reedy playing 80 and bit more size for Manly with Oregan. Well see eh
Stone was good last week. Not sure if that's a good move. I thought Stone did a good job when he came on and if Mahoney gets injured or needs a rest Stone is the obvious replacement.
There will probably be a bit of rotation with the bench players during the season to keep some match fitness up as there is no reserve grade games.
Seems odd to drop completely out. I mean, you'd think he'd drop back to the reserves.
Major face palm Nitram. No reserves this season.
I thought only two remain heading into the day. i read it as those two being gower and g jennings.
I'd like to see Gower in for Peni
Im happy to see oregan getting a run but id like to of seen Stone get an extended run in the team im a fan of his aggression of the bench
Could it be a niggling injury? Or are we trying to match their big forward pack?
Anyway, like many, it's good to see Kaufusi get run but also would like Stone in the team.
I'd prefer a real quality 14 utility player. Who plays hard aggressive and has deft hands for the hooker role.
I can't wait to see the end of the clean Jersey, 10 minute , mistake riddled Taka.
