THE TEAM NEWS

CANBERRA RAIDERS

• Canberra Raiders secured a fourth win in-a-row as they overcame Canterbury Bulldogs at Magic Round but they still find themselves outside the top eight.
• The Raiders will be eager to keep their winning streak intact, especially as they come up against a rival for one of those spots and they are boosted by the return of Albert Hopoate on the wing.

Starting 13: Kris, Hopoate, Croker, Timoko, Rapana, Wighton, Fogarty, Papali’i, Woolford, Tapine, Young, Whitehead, Horsburgh – Interchanges: Starling, Guler, Saulo, Maritoa – Reserves: Savage, Puru

Unavailable: Adrian Trevilyan (Injured), Danny Levi (Injured), Nick Cotric (Injured), Matt Frawley (Injured)

PARRAMATTA EELS

• Parramatta Eels failed to make it back-to-back victories as they fell to defeat against Gold Coast Titans last week as their inconsistent season continued.
• The Eels have won just four games ahead of this round 11 clash and they have suffered a huge blow with halfback Mitchell Moses ruled out of this contest with a head knock he suffered last week.

Starting 13: Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Simonsson, Dunster, Brown, Arthur, Greig, Hodgson, Paulo, Lane, Davey, Hopgood – Interchanges: Cartwright, Hands, Matterson, Makatoa – Reserves: Russell, Ogden

Unavailable: Reagan Campbell-Gillard (Injured), Mitchell Moses (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Canberra Raiders have managed to overturn their poor start to the season and have now won their last four. They are on a roll and will be confident of claiming another win as they host a Parramatta Eels side that come into this without their first-choice halfback. Mitchell Moses is out and with the Eels already struggling for consistency, the hosts have to be favoured in this one having already won three of their four home games so far this season.
