Parramatta Eels unchanged for Roosters clash
The Pirtek Parramatta Eels and Sydney Roosters will battle for the Jack Gibson Cup this Saturday night at Parramatta Stadium at 5.30pm, with the Eels to field an unchanged line-up from their win over the Bulldogs last weekend.
Gibson was one of the most successful coaches ever in Rugby League and is honoured by two clubs he led to premiership victory – the Eels and Roosters – playing for the Cup in his name. Gibson will also be immortalised at Parramatta Stadium on Saturday night when a new tribute to him is unveiled, with his family in attendance.
Both clubs are playing to raise funds for the Schizophrenia Institute, and fans will have the opportunity to donate at the game, or via the website www.jackgibsoncup.com.au.
The Parramatta Eels will also be encouraging all Eels and Roosters fans to ‘Think Greener’ on Saturday night thanks to Game Day Sponsor Modern Solar.
Fans will have the opportunity to win Eels superstar Jarryd Hayne’s jersey from Saturday’s match just by going towww.greeneels.com.au or www.thinkgreener.com.au and in 25 words or less explain how the Parramatta Eels can act and ‘think greener’.
A World War II veteran will present the game ball for the Parramatta Eels clash with the Roosters on Saturday, 31 July, as part of an international initiative to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the end of WWII.
The World War II veteran, Mr Wally Eurell, fought in the Pacific from 1942-45, while both clubs fielded players in 1947 who were ex-Servicemen who fought in World War II.
Please note: Junior League passes will not be accepted at this match.

- Is Dan Cross playing for a second-tier contract? They look to have shifted Humble back to fullback to make room for him in Wenty?
- Jason Wehbe back in the NYC starting team over Cameron Picker
- Daniel Tupou dropped, Keith Wicks in
- Manuokafoa on the bench behind Allgood and Peletelese
How is Manuokafoa going?
Showing any form?
The Hayne plane is fueled from renewable energy sources and does not consume carbon producing fossil fuels.
Can't do better than that.
