The Eels desperately need a win and come up against a weakened South Sydney.
Greg Inglis is away on Origin duty and Adam Reynolds is injured. Alex Johnston will start in his preferred fullback role.
It’s likely that Chris Grevsmuhl will play from the bench, despite being named in jersey 19.
Parramatta has also lost their fullback to Origin, with Will Hopoate picked for NSW.
Chris Sandow is expected to come back from NSW Cup to take the Eels fullback position, with Reece Robinson playing on the wing.
