Smith returns to centres

Smith returns to centres
PIRTEK Parramatta Eels utility player Ben Smith will return to the centres to cover for the injured Ryan Morgan (ankle) for the away clash against Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park this Sunday. Smith played the second half of last Saturday night's clash against North Queensland Cowboys at right centre after Morgan left the field, for the first time since early 2009.

Casey McGuire will make a timely return from a calf injury to the No. 9 jersey while dog bite victim Matt Keating is sidelined. Anthony Mitchell will pair with McGuire from the bench.

The only other change is Fuifui Moimoi returning to the 17 from a one-week suspension. He goes onto the bench with Justin Horo shuffling into the starting line-up in the lock position Smith held last week against the Cowboys.
