THE TEAM NEWS

PARRAMATTA EELS

• Parramatta Eels made it back-to-back wins for the first time this season as they proved to be far too good for Canterbury Bulldogs last week.
• The Eels were comfortable victors in that contest as they conceded just four points and will be keen to build on that effort with Josh Hodgson set to hand them a boost at hooker having missed out through illness against the Bulldogs.

Starting 13: Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Russell, Dunster, D. Brown, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Hodgson, Paulo, Lane, Cartwright, Matterson – Interchanges: Hopgood, Hands, Greig, Doorey – Reserves: Arthur, Murchie, Makatoa, Simonsson, Asi

BRISBANE BRONCOS

• Brisbane Broncos bounced back from their first loss of the season as they racked up another big score against Queensland rivals Gold Coast Titans.
• The Broncos notched 40 points for the third time this season in the 26-43 victory and are boosted by the return of prop Thomas Flegler and winger Corey Oates with the latter back in the side after recovering from a broken jaw.

Starting 13: Walsh, Oates, Staggs, Farnworth, Cobbo, Mam, Reynolds, Flegler, Walters, Haas, Capewell, Riki, Carrigan – Interchanges: Paix, Jensen, Hetherington, Taupau – Reserves: Arthars, Palasia, Madden, Piakura, Mariner

THE PREDICTION

Parramatta Eels have won their last two matches but face an uphill task to add a third straight success as they take on top of the ladder Brisbane Broncos. The away side have been superb this season and have lost just one game to date which highlights the task ahead of the hosts here. Both are capable of prevailing but the quality of the Brisbane attack should prove to be the difference and they can record yet another victory in this one.
