THE TEAM NEWS

SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS

  • South Sydney Rabbitohs ended round 12 at the top of the ladder as they claimed a sixth win in succession, claiming a straightforward victory over Wests Tigers.
  • The Bunnies were able to keep their opponents scoreless in that game and will be confident of keeping their winning streak going here but will be without Tom Burgess once again while Jed Cartwright is out with a head knock.

Starting 13: L. Mitchell, Johnston, Tass, Graham, Milne, Walker, Ilias, Tatola, Cook, Sele, Chee Kam, Host, Murray – Interchanges: Taaffe, Arrow, Knight, Suluka-Fifita – Reserves: Lovett, Kennar, Mamouzelos, S. Mitchell, Hawkins

Unavailable: Siliva Havili (Injured), Keaon Koloamatangi (Injured), Davvy Moale (Injured), Thomas Burgess (Injured), Jed Cartwright (Injured)

PARRAMATTA EELS

  • Parramatta Eels suffered a third loss in their last four matches as their poor season continued, going down to top eight rivals Canberra Raiders.
  • The Eels need a big performance as they aim to get their season back on track and while they have been handed a huge boost with halfback Mitchell Moses back on deck, they have lost Shaun Lane to a hamstring injury.

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

Unavailable: Reagan Campbell-Gillard (Injured), Shaun Lane (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

South Sydney Rabbitohs earned a comfortable win over Wests Tigers last week to extend their winning streak to six matches. They continue to look like the team to beat with how they are performing on both sides of the ball and there is still more to come. Parramatta Eels come into this with just one win in their last four after going down to Canberra Raiders last time out and having struggled on the road this year as well as losing in their past six matchups with South Sydney, preference has to be for the Bunnies in this one.
