Witt, Dykes combo finally gets shot
Brian Smith has finally delivered the halves combination that many Eels fans have been asking for all year with Michael Witt at half back and Adam Dykes back to his favourite position of five-eighth.
Junior Langi also returns from injury and has been slotted back into the starting team, alongside Luke Burt in the three-quarters. Ashley Graham is also back on the wing.
Wade McKinnon has been named at fullback, despite media suggestions that a leg injury would likely rule him out for the rest of the season.
Lee Hopkins has been named as starting hooker, with James Webster making a belated return to the NRL after being out of favour for most of the year.
