Eels injury toll mounts
Parramatta now has six NRL players sitting on the sidelines with injuries, plus the AWOL Jamie Lyon, following David Vaeliki's season-ending injury last week. While Parra had been lucky until last week with only minor injuries afflicting the club, last week saw Vaeliki, Ronald Prince and Luke O'Dwyer all ruled out for extended periods of time.
While Lee Hopkins joins Chris Muckert and Ashley Graham in the return of the injured brigade, still not ready for gameplay are Fuifui Moimoi and Corey Pearson, while Aaron Cannings still has at least a month out of action.
Parramatta must now rank up behind Newcastle, South Sydney and West Tigers as the teams currently suffering the most disruption from injury.
