Eels forward Ryan Matterson will return for tomorrow’s clash against Panthers.

Matterson was overlooked by Brad Arthur for last week’s elimination final against the Knights after serving a three-match suspension for a high tackle on Manly’s Brad Parker in round 22.

Arthur has had a change of heart and will use Matterson in a different role against Penrith.

Matterson has played 16 matches for the Eels this season, starting each in the second row.
