Parramatta Eels Blog: The 1Eyed Eel

The Adam Dykes and John Morris combination that promised so much at the start of the year will be in action again this week - but in Premier League.

Both have been dropped after recent dissapointing performances.

The half back that some have touted as the next Peter Sterling - Tim Smith - also gets his promotion and the chance to see if he can take his good Flegg form to the next level of football.

Ben Smith - three try hero from last week - has missed out on a promotion but with Smith clearly not happy with Langi, he only needs to continue to find the line in reggies to be given his shot.

Mal Kaufusi's promotion at the expense of Fui Fui, sees the big Tongan back in the second grade playing alongside Jim Curtis. Chris Armith packs down in the back row with Fred Peterson and Chris Muckert at lock. Young prop Josh Cordoba has been dropped back to the interchange.

In Flegg, Blake Green takes over the half spot from Tim Smith. It will be interesting to see if the juniors can keep winning without their playmaker.
