Eels unchanged. Maybe.
Parramatta coach Brian Smith has shown faith in the team that thrashed the Warriors last week naming an unchanged side to take on reigning premiers Penrith this weekend.
There is a chance of late changes, however, with Eels captain Nathan Cayless confirming he is a chance of playing against Penrith.
AAP quoted Cayless as saying he was "keen as mustard" to play again and that he thought he was a chance to return last week, but doctors are being cautious due to it being a second break, and ruled him out as being not "quite right".
"I feel good and I've been doing a lot of tackling at training," he told AAP.
Meanwhile, Adam Dykes has been listed as "not considered" despite being named as 18th man last week.
Update: Broadcast reports say that Cayless will play.
