Parramatta halfback Chris Sandow will start from the interchange bench after being recalled to the Eels’ NRL squad for Friday night’s match against Canterbury at ANZ Stadium.

Dropped to the NSW Cup last week following a series of indifferent displays, Sandow has earned an immediate reprieve.

Utility Casey McGuire will again start in the No.7, while five-eighth Ben Roberts has also been retained despite a poor showing against Wests Tigers on Sunday.
