PARRAMATTA could be without its regular centres combination for the clash against St George Illawarra with Joel Reddy and Timana Tahu expected to struggle to be ready for Friday night.
Coach Daniel Anderson said Reddy was in doubt after he suffered a ``hamstring twinge during the 22-18 loss to Cronulla at Parramatta Stadium on Saturday.
Reddy, as well as Nathan Hindmarsh, have been named in the team despite ailments. Anderson said Hindmarsh has a sternum injury.
``They are in doubt, but Ive named them, Anderson told the Advertiser on Tuesday.
``Were confident of one of the two, and were hoping for two of the two.
``But Im more confident of Hindy at the moment.
``Hes in better shape than Joel.
``Joel is fifty-fifty.
Anderson didnt like the chance of his other centre, Tahu, playing at Jubilee Oval after State of Origin on Wednesday.
``I think Timana will be highly unlikely after Origin, he said.
``His recuperation from his weekly postgame ... the ankle hasnt really been ready in two days ever, so I think its highly unlikely.
He has named fellow Blue Jarryd Hayne in the team, but will wait to see how the fullback recovers.
The competition leaders also have Origin backup problems.
The NSW team includes Dragons Brett Morris, Matt Cooper, Michael Weyman and Ben Creagh, while QLD has Neville Costigan and Darius Boyd.
However Parramattas Justin Poore said the Eels would have to be good against ``the best team in the comp.
``Theyre relentless and were going to have to play very, very well to beat them, he said.
``They are the benchmark.
He didnt expect a kind reception for his return to Kogarah.
``Probably the one (I received) in round one, but 100 times worse.
``But I dont really care. They can say what they want.
``I came here for a reason. Im part of Parramatta now and the Dragons is long gone.
