Eels: The Eels came through their win over Brisbane unscathed so Brad Arthur has the luxury of naming the same 17-man squad for their shot at a top-four spot.

Storm: Tom Eisenhuth's season is over after he suffered a syndesmosis injury in the tackle that saw Lindsay Collins suspended for dangerous contact. Chris Lewis is the new man on the bench. Felise Kaufusi returns to the starting side so Tui Kamikamica goes to the bench. Josh King has been named to start at lock and Brandon Smith is on the interchange but they could well swap on game day.
