Teamsheet: Eels vs Broncos

Nathan Cayless reaches another milestone in Broncos clash

The Pirtek Parramatta Eels will travel to Brisbane this weekend for a huge clash against the Broncos and will be celebrating a milestone for captain Nathan Cayless.

The club’s longest-serving captain will also become the NRL’s most-capped captain in the history of the competition, breaking Brad Fittler’s record of 216 games as captain.

“It’s a privilege to be a part of a game where Nathan Cayless will write his name into the record books,” said coach Daniel Anderson.

Prop Fuifui Moimoi is clear to play in the game after taking an early guilty plea on a Grade 1 Careless High Tackle Charge.

Back-rower Ben Smith will face the Judiciary this Wednesday to dispute the grading of Grade 2 Dangerous Contact with Kicker charge, and if successful will be free to play this weekend.

“We remain hopeful of a favourable outcome when we contest Ben’s charge,” Anderson said. “We’ll be very happy in the event his downgrading is successful and he’s clear to play.”

Following the Broncos match the entire travelling squad will make an appearance in Brisbane’s Queen Street Mall from 10.00am until 11.00am on Saturday July 14 for all of the Eels’ Brisbane-based fans. The team will be signing autographs before flying back to Sydney.

Interesting Jacob Loko not named in 20s...injured or on standby for T ?...
1Eyed Eel August 10, 2010 at 5:07pm

Good spot. although I did note him hobbling at the end of the U20s match
1Eyed Eel August 10, 2010 at 5:08pm

BTW, I'm led to believe this won't be the team...
Bejay August 10, 2010 at 5:08pm

whys that?
1Eyed Eel August 10, 2010 at 5:09pm

And what an amazing achievement for Caylo. He is not just an Eels legend, he is an NRL legend.
Ricky August 10, 2010 at 5:13pm

Agreed 1 Eyed Eel!
He has been a tremendous player for the club over the course of his career, and he definitely deserves all the accolades he might getfor breaking Freddy's record! He should get some at least. Some for of recognition for breaking it.

Also, what makes you think that won't be the team?

Hope it's dry up there and not raining like it is down here

Te Maari on standby for Benny
Ace Eel August 10, 2010 at 5:30pm

Lets hope big Benny can get his charge downgraded ...we will really need his high quailty work rate against broncs....looking at the replay...he might be a chance...
Dave August 10, 2010 at 6:25pm

I would think Tee Mari is on standby for Smith and Loko is injured. As much as I want Loko in 1st grade, its not going to be in the forwards to start off with.
