The Parramatta Eels have locked in their starting lineup for a showdown with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the upcoming Indigenous Round clash at the Accor Stadium this Saturday.
Ryan Matterson is set to make a triumphant return to the team after being sidelined last week due to illness.
His comeback has pushed Luca Moretti back to the reserves list, adding depth to the Eels' squad.
The team will be under the guidance of Trent Barrett, who has been appointed Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2024 NRL season.
Barrett's leadership will be crucial in motivating the players to give their all on the field.
In a fitting tribute to Indigenous Round, Gooreng Gooreng man J'maine Hopgood will have the honor of leading his Eels teammates out onto the field before the game kicks off.
This special moment showcases the team's respect for Indigenous culture and heritage.
