Maitua named on extended bench for Eels clash with Broncos

PIRTEK Parramatta Eels forward Mitchell Allgood will make his second start for the Club this Friday while Manase Manuokafoa has received his first call-up of the 2011 season, in a number of changes to the side.

Pirtek Eels coach Stephen Kearney has named Manuokafoa on the bench for the clash against the Broncos at Parramatta Stadium and recalled Chris Walker to the centres to cover for Ryan Morgan, who will miss two weeks with a Grade 1 hamstring tear suffered last week against Canberra.
