Eels welcome back Tahu and Moimoi
Tue May 22, 2007
by Matthew O'Neill
Parramatta has received a major boost heading into Monday night's clash against the Warriors at Parramatta Stadium with Timana Tahu and Fuifui Moimoi set to make returns from injury.

Tahu has been out with a hamstring injury sustained prior to his selection in the Country-City clash and Moimoi has missed the last three weeks due to a knee strain.

The Eels will also welcome back Origin stars Jarryd Hayne and Nathan Hindmarsh providing they get through Wednesday's event unscathed.

Nathan Hindmarsh will replace brother Ian in the second-row who is out for two weeks with an eye socket injury, Tahu and Hayne come into the backline for Joel Reddy and Krisnan Inu and Moimoi comes onto the bench for Junior Paulo.

Speaking to the official Parramatta website, Michael Hagan said, "Last week was our best performance of the season and we are really looking to build on that.

"Having 9 days off between games is a new experience and something all teams are going through. Our preparation will really kick in on Friday when we've had a chance to assess how both Jarryd and Nathan have come through the Origin."

City-Country changes
Mon April 30, 2007
by Matthew O'Neill
City lock Reni Maitua and Country centre Timana Tahu have been ruled out of Thursday's City-Country clash to be played at Coffs Harbour.

The out of form Maitua is out due to a hip flexor injury giving Cronulla's Reece Williams his first representative jersey. At the moment Williams is a direct swap with Maitua, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Anthony Watmough is called into the starting side.

City has added Gold Coast back-rower Mark Minichiello as the 18th man.

Country have lost the services of centre Timana Tahu due to a hamstring injury and has been replaced by Canberra speedster Phil Graham. It's the first time in a long-time the Raiders have had a representative player at NSW level.

The credability of the City-Country concept has already come under fire with the match being scheduled for Thursday and with the exception of 1-2 positions it is no trial whatsoever for State of Origin selection.

Australian Test players Matt King, Jamie Lyon, Andrew Ryan, Nathan Hindmarsh, Willie Mason, Brent Kite, Luke Bailey, Steve Simpson and Anthony Tupou weren't eligible for selection after playing in the Test match two weeks ago while Mark O'Meley and Matt Cooper weren't considered due to injury.

Cronulla players Lance Thompson, Paul Gallen, Williams, Ben Pomeroy Brett Kimmorley, Greg Bird and Luke Douglas all have to play tonight against Newcastle's Kurt Gidley, Danny Buderus and Clint Newton before making the trip up the Pacific Hwy from the Hunter to Coffs Harbour.
