Coach Brad Arthur has already had his fair share of headaches leading into the do-or-die clash. Fijian flyer Maika Sivo suffered a season-ending knee injury in last week’s loss and ffellow winger Blake Ferguson was ruled out 24 hours out from kick-off also due to a knee injury suffered in the same game.

Now with Jennings sidelined, the Eels are scrambling to fill the 298 games and a premiership-worth of experience that the 32-year-old brought to the side.
Semi Final
The Eels put in a much stronger performance against the Storm last week, but the weeks prior to that they’ve been far away from their best.
While they desperately need a spark in their attack to match the Bunnies, defensively Jennings was going to be key.

Jennings’ brother George was named in Sivo’s place on the left wing outside of Michael, while utility back Brad Takairangi was named on Ferguson’s right wing. However it was expected Takairangi would swap with centre Waqa Blake before kick-off.

Now, Arthur will have to reshuffle his back line once again and Foxsports.com.au can confirm the Eels have been granted an exemption by the NRL to bring in a new face.
Young gun Haze Dunster will come in to make his NRL debut. The 21-year-old was cut from the reserves 24 hours out from kick off but has been recalled into the squad.

It’s expected that Blake will stay put at right centre, Takairangi will go to left centre on the inside of George Jennings and Dunster will come onto the right wing on the outside of Blake.
Arthur’s only other feasible option was to play second-rower Andrew Davey in Jennings’ centre spot. Davey shifted to the centres last week when Sivo and Ferguson’s knee injuries forced a reshuffle. However, the 28-year-old was in an unfamiliar position and was caught out defensively.
If Dunster does play on the right wing he’ll be thrown into the deep end having to defend try-scoring machine Alex Johnston who just two weeks ago scored five tries against the Roosters. He’ll rely heavily on Blake’s guidance, but even Blake hasn’t been up to scratch defensively.
