MATCH PREVIEW
The fire and brimstone rivalry between the Parramatta Eels and Manly Sea Eagles is set for another blockbuster as the two sides kickoff their 2015 Premiership campaigns.
The Eels' major off-season talking point was that of the leaving of fullback Jarryd Hayne who has moved to the United States in his pursuit of his NFL dream.
Parramatta come into the match with a new look back-line and a relatively fresh forward pack.
Semi Radradra is the only Eels back who will line up in the same position that he played in 2014.
Will Hopoate moves to fullback with new recruits Beau Champion and Brad Takairangi forming the centre partnership and speedster, Reece Robinson starting in the remaining wing position.
As expected, Corey Norman and Chris Sandow will be the halves.
Meanwhile, in the forward pack, Tim Mannah and Darcy Lussick start up front with Nathan Peats making his long awaited return to first grade following a knee and shoulder reconstruction in 2014.
