The Dyldam Parramatta Eels squad has been named to take on the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the club’s opening match of the 2015 NRL Telstra Premiership at Pirtek Stadium, Parramatta.
Centre Brad Takairangi and half back Chris Sandow will both return to the field after sustaining injury in the 2015 NRL Auckland Nines, and Takairangi will make his first NRL appearance for the Blue and Gold alongside fellow new recruits Beau Champion, Reece Robinson, Anthony Watmough and Danny Wicks.
Ticket sales have been strong for this game, so we encourage all General Admission Eels Members, and all GA ticket holders to arrive early to ensure entry. Pirtek Stadium is subject to capacity restrictions and Members and fans may be unable to enter once the ground reaches its legal capacity.
There are still reserved seat tickets available via Ticketmaster, and General Admission Members can choose to upgrade to a reserved seat for the game from just $10.
For Members who have not yet received their Membership card, there will be Membership Services team Members located at Gates A/B and G/H from 4.15pm to help you on the night.
Kick-off details:
NYC: 5.30pm
