Parramatta Eels,Jason Taumalolo,Melbourne Storm

NRL: Blues halfback Nicho Hynes spoke to the media regarding the upcoming State of Origin, being questioned on the state of his calf injury.

The Eels have welcomed back two big-name stars and made a shock move regarding a teenage star , but there’s no excuses for Parramatta now.

So now with him back wearing the No.7 jersey, there’s nowhere to hide and the Eels have a chance to turn their season around starting with a win against the Sharks who have only lost two players due to Origin, albeit the ever-important Nicho Hynes and Cameron McInnes.His side have slumped to 15th place on the competition ladder, winning only a single game against the Cowboys in his absence.

Barrett made it clear that both players had a place in the 17 when speaking to media following Arthur’s axing. Talagi also has a big contract decision to make, and will decide his future this season after turning down an option in his favour to stay at the Eels in 2025.Dragons coach Shane Flanagan has had to make mass changes to his side off the back of Origin call-ups and fresh injuries.

Toby, who has played prop and lock, has been averaging 161 running metres and 33 tackles per game at an impressive efficiency of 98 per cent. He’s coming off his most dominant performance too having notched up 210 metres – 108 post-contact – and 33 tackles with zero misses in Round 12. The Couchmans aren’t the only brothers in the Dragons’ line-up this week with the Feagai twins also being named for their first NRL appearance of the season.

Marschke has two tries and nine try assists in seven NSW Cup games this season. He’s also been averaging just under 100 running metres per game. Across 12 appearances this season, the 2015 Premiership winner is averaging 38 minutes per game, just over 10 minutes fewer than last season and 16 minutes less per game than in 2022.

Isaah Yeo, Jarome Luai, Liam Martin, Brian To’o and Dylan Edwards all will play for the Blues, meaning Ivan Cleary had to dip deep into his squad to fill the gaps. Toelau came through the Melbourne Storm system and won the club’s Jersey Flegg Player of the Year in 2019. He then made the move to Newtown and ultimately St Mary’s in the Penrith competition.
