Taulima Tautai has won a recall to the Pirtek Parramatta Eels team to play the Roosters at Parramatta Stadium on Friday night, being named at centre in place of a State of Origin bound Jarryd Hayne.

Tautai's return from a week in Toyota Cup is the only change to the side that defeated St George-Illawarra 19-18 last start at ANZ Stadium.

Eels head coach Michael Hagan said he's pleased to be able to name such a settled side at this stage of the season.

"Taulima's been solid for us this season and was probably unlucky to miss out last week," Hagan said.

"He'll add plenty this week as will the rest of the team.

"No doubt we're disappointed for the likes of Brett Finch and Nathan Hindmarsh, missing out on Origin one, but that said we're very happy they'll be playing for us on Friday.

"We're coming off a short turn around and have another bye coming up next week so it's a nice feeling to be settled at this stage of the representative season."

The Eels play host to the Roosters at Parramatta Stadium on Friday night, kick off 7.45pm.

Gates open at 5.25pm, and will be followed five minutes later by the Toyota Cup clash between the fourth placed Eels and 10th placed Roosters.
