THE TEAM NEWS

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS

• Canterbury Bulldogs pushed Sydney Roosters all the way last week but failed to hold onto their lead in the final 15 minutes and succumbed to an agonising one-point loss.
• The Bulldogs have now lost three of their last four matches and will aim to improve that run here. They will be boosted by the return of Jacob Kiraz while Reed Mahoney has been named despite suffering a head knock against the Roosters.

Starting 13: Perham, Kiraz, Averillo, Alamoti, Addo-Carr, Oloapu, Burton, King, Mahoney, Pangai Jnr., Okunbor, Preston, Edwards – Interchanges: Rajab, Morrin, Patolo, Waddell – Reserves: Flanagan, Topine

Unavailable: Luke Thompson (Injured), Bailey Biondi-Odi (Injured), Viliame Kikau (Injured), Braidon Burns (Injured), Raymond Faitala-Mariner (Injured)

PARRAMATTA EELS

• Parramatta Eels made it back-to-back wins for just the second time this season as they got the better of North Queensland Cowboys and now come into this on the back of a bye week.
• The Eels will be extremely fresh for this game having enjoyed a long turnaround and while they have their first-choice front row available once again, the loss of Dylan Brown owing to the NRL’s no-fault stand down rule is a big one.

Starting 13: Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Simonsson, Russell, Asi, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Hodgson, Paulo, Cartwright, Davey, Hopgood – Interchanges: Ogden, Hands, Doorey, Makatoa – Reserves: Dunster, Moretti

Unavailable: Shaun Lane (Injured), Ryan Matterson (Injured), Joe Ofahengaue (Injured), Wiremu Greig (Injured), Dylan Brown (Stood down)

THE PREDICTION

Canterbury Bulldogs showed some promising signs in their outing against Sydney Roosters last week but fell to a third defeat in their last four. On the other hand, Parramatta Eels have won successive matches after a victory over North Queensland Cowboys and have enjoyed an extended period without a game since then. There will be more reliance on Mitchell Moses in this game, especially as this is his last chance to secure a New South Wales jersey and he can shine here with his refreshed side able to get the job done.
