Brisbane are looking to make it back to back wins after suffering a mid season slump of epic proportions. The Eels meanwhile are out of the finals race but have shown a tremendous amount of pride in the jersey despite having a nightmare of a season with more drama than an entire series of Days of our Lives.
There is one change for Brisbane, winger Lachlan Maranta is out and rookie Jonas Pearson will make his NRL debut in jumper #18.
Parramatta have lost Brad Takairangi, which sees Manu Ma'u move to centre, Kenny Edwards to second row and Rory O'Brien come onto the bench.
