Eels team list clouds Moses' hopes of Origin return

Laurie Daley is facing a crunch call over the make-up of his NSW spine with Mitchell Moses still sidelined with the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the State of Origin series opener.

Moses will not play a game before Daley names his squad for Origin II after he was left off the Parramatta's team list for their King's Birthday clash with Canterbury on Monday.

Eels playmaker Moses was cruelly ruled out of the NSW's 22-20 win over Queensland in Sydney with a minor hamstring strain he picked up at the Blues' penultimate training session.

Daley values Moses' long kicking game and has said - if fit - the Parramatta captain would be in his squad for game two in Melbourne on June 17.

But whether Daley takes that risk on Moses, who was replaced by Canberra wonderkid Ethan Strange, without a lead-in game remains to be seen.

Moses' absence is offset by the return of several of Daley's star names with Tolu Koula, who received NRL clearance to play after his Origin I concussion, and Haumole Olakau'atu back in the fold for Manly's meeting with South Sydney on Thursday.

Souths welcome back David Fifita, hooker Brandon Smith and centre Campbell Graham.

The absence of Nick Meaney (calf) has opened the door for Manaia Waitere to start in the centres for Melbourne against a Newcastle side deploying Fletcher Sharpe at five-eighth.

Centre Herbie Farnworth and five-eighth Kodi Nikorima return from hamstring injuries for the Dolphins against North Queensland, while in Saturday's later game Ezra Mam has been benched by Brisbane as they face Gold Coast.

After resting Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo and Brian To'o last week, Penrith have named their trio of Blues stars for Sunday's clash with Wests Tigers.

Elsewhere, Jayden Berrell starts at hooker for Cronulla following Blayke Brailey's arm break as St George Illawarra travel to Shark Park.

Hooker Jacob Liddle is named on the bench for the Dragons, who broke their losing run with a win over Brisbane last Sunday.
