The vagaries of the NRL<\/a> draw during the Origin<\/a> period has thrown up a doozy to kick off round 13, with the top of the table Sharks bizarrely considered the underdogs against the 15th placed Eels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parramatta just over a week ago sacked coach Brad Arthur<\/a>, installing Trent Barrett as an interim head coach before duly losing to fellow battlers Souths, yet some key ins for the Eels<\/a> and some key outs for Cronulla<\/a> have flipped the clash on its head.<\/p>\n

Mitchell \ufeffMoses finally returns after nine weeks on the sideline due to a fractured foot that ruined his chances of retaining his NSW No.7 jersey, while Eels captain Clint Gutherson is also back after a month on the sidelines due to a knee injury that required minor surgery.<\/p>\n

Those two ins combined with the fact that key forwards Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Junior Paulo both missed out on Origin selection<\/a> ensure the Eels will take the field on Thursday night with one of the best teams they've been able to call on all year.<\/p>\n

\"Parramatta<\/p>\n

Cronulla on the other hand are missing halfback Nicho Hynes<\/a> and Cameron McInnes to Blues selection and are licking their wounds after a reality check thumping at the hands of three-time premiers the Panthers in round 12.<\/p>\n

"They're coming 15th, Parra, \ufeffthe Sharks are coming first," Brad Fittler pointed out on Wide World of Sports' Freddy and the Eighth's Tips<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

"But Parramatta are the favourites. What a great comp."<\/p>\n
