One change to Eels lineup for Raiders clash

Parramatta Eels Head Coach Michael Hagan has today named just one change to the side that defeated the Wests Tigers for Saturday night’s match against the Canberra Raiders at Parramatta Stadium.

Winger Eric Grothe will make his return from an ankle injury with Joel Reddy named in Premier League. The Parramatta players will wear a replica of the 1947 strip in Saturday night’s match to commemorate 60 years in the competition.

Eels coach Michael Hagan says the Raiders will provide his team will a number of challenges.

“Their win last night will certainly sharpen the focus of our team. There are a number of good young players there that Canberra are obviously looking to build their team around for the future,”

"We have a couple of injury concerns with Nathan Cayless, Aaron Cannings and Timana Tahu. We will asses those players later in the week and make some adjustments if we have to,” Hagan added.
