The Eels have welcomed several players back to the training paddock with less than a month remaining until their first pre-season trial match.
Co-Captains Clint Gutherson (knee) and Junior Paulo (toe) are expected to commence full training imminently. Both underwent surgery in the off-season and have been restricted to light duties in recent months, but are now close to full fitness.
Makahesi Makatoa (pec) and Daejarn Asi (finger) have also been cleared to rejoin the squad after recovering from off-season surgeries.
