Sadly last night the mother of Nathan and Jason Cayless; Marlene Cayless passed away.
Parramatta forward and captain Nathan Cayless has been given permission to take indefinite leave from all Eels training and matches. The Eels have indicated they will wear black armbands in this weekends match against Manly as a mark of respect for the passing of Mrs Cayless.
Our thoughts are with the Cayless family at this sad time and hope the media respect their privacy at this difficult time.
