Pirtek Parramatta Eels coach Andrew Webster has named his Holden Cup side to take on the Melbourne Storm this Sunday at AAMI Park. The Eels are expecting to put up a fight against the Storm, hungry for a win for the Blue and Gold Army.
The Storm are buzzing from their victory against the Newcastle Knights in Round 23, currently in 9th position on the ladder, they will be battling hard for a spot in the top eight.
The Eels have dropped to 15th position on the ladder after failing to lock in a win in the past few rounds, however after a strong start in last weeks match against the Brisbane Broncos; the boys firmly believe that anything could happen this week.
Kaysa Pritchard is still out with an injured ankle tendon, along with Storm five-eighth Kurt Mann.
All eyes will be on Eels front rower Pauli Pauli, the main point scorer for last weeks match against the Broncos, along with Mitchell Brasington, whose conversion success rate is a strong asset for the team.
Kickoff is at 12.45 pm
