The Parramatta Eels side to take on the North Queensland Cowboys in the elimination Semi Final at ANZ Stadium on Saturday, 16 September has been named by Blue & Gold Head Coach Brad Arthur.

Arthur has named an unchanged side that suffered a 18-16 defeat to the Minor Premiers, the Melbourne Storm last week, for the do or die clash.

With fullback Bevan French still unavailable due to injury Will Smith has been named in the number one jersey.

Peni Terepo returns from injury on the extended bench in place of Frank Pritchard alongside Beau Scott, Kenny Edwards, Siosaia Vave, Suaia Matagi, Kaysa Pritchard, David Gower and Josh Hoffman.

Tim Mannah and Beau Scott will co-captain the side.

Kick off is at 7:40pm.

Please note, the Eels Holden Cup side progressed through to next week's preliminary final after a victory over the Minor Premiers, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Allianz Stadium on the weekend.
