THE TEAM NEWS

DOLPHINS

• The Dolphins suffered a huge loss last time out as they were hammered by Manly Sea Eagles but the week off may have done them some good.
• Wayne Bennett was not impressed with his side’s defensive efforts in that game and has made a raft of changes for this contest with Felise Kaufusi returning from a ban and Sean O’Sullivan overcoming an injury in what are two important inclusions.

Starting 13: Tabuai-Fidow, Isaako, Aitken, Te Whare, McGrady, Nikorima, Katoa, J. Bromwich, O’Sullivan, Ese’ese, Kaufusi, K. Bromwich, Stone – Interchanges: Kerr, Nicholls, Lemuelu, Graham – Reserves: Plath, Faamausili

Unavailable: Tom Gilbert (Injured), Jarrod Wallace (Suspended), Anthony Milford (Suspended), Jeremy Marshall-King (Injured), Brenko Lee (Injured)

PARRAMATTA EELS

• Parramatta Eels made it four successive victories as they overcame Manly in a one-sided win last week and their recent form has seen them rise into contention for the top four.
• The Eels were impressive in that contest and are boosted by the return of their Origin duo Mitchell Moses and Junior Paulo with the pair set to back-up after Wednesday’s game.

Starting 13: Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Simonsson, Russell, Asi, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Hands, Paulo, Cartwright, Davey, Hopgood – Interchanges: Ogden, Ofahengaue, Matterson, Makatoa – Reserves: Blake, Lane

Unavailable: Wiremu Greig (Injured), Dylan Brown (Stood down), Josh Hodgson (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

The Dolphins have struggled of late and have lost three of their last four after a shambolic performance last time out. They had their bye week to stew on that result against Manly Sea Eagles but now run into an in-form Parramatta Eels. The away side have won their last four matches and while the Dolphins should improve here, it is hard to side with them so back the Eels to extend their winning streak.
