Eels aim to rebound against Raiders, debuting Patuki; Ryles praises defensive commitment despite recent narrow loss to Bulldogs.
With a relatively short turn-around, the Eels will be hoping to put the disappointment of their close King's Birthday loss behind them when they take on the Raiders.
Despite being under the pump and behind in possession for much of the game in Monday's loss to the Bulldogs, the Eels were in the fight, but some poor game awareness at the end of the match cost them their opportunity to add to their wins tally.
However, coach Jason Ryles would have bee pleased with the way they committed in their defence, with last-ditch efforts helping keep things close in their 14-12 defeat.
