New Parramatta buy Michael Jennings will make his club debut against former team Penrith in their upcoming trial match.
It was five years ago that the former Panther star expressed his hate for the blue-and-gold, but now he will line up against his ex-club for the first time in Eels colours, missing the Auckland Nines.
Jennings made the shock move from the Sydney Roosters just last week, signing a four-year deal with the Eels who enjoyed a strong recruitment drive over the summer.
