THE TEAM NEWS
PARRAMATTA EELS
- Parramatta Eels claimed the most dramatic of victories as they snatched an excellent golden point success in their clash with Melbourne Storm last week to bounce back from their loss to Cronulla Sharks in the perfect fashion.
- The Eels saw a field goal effort strike the post and land in the arms of Ray Stone who was able to step the oncoming defender before falling over the line but it came at a great personal cost as he tore his ACL in the process with that injury ending his season.
Starting 13: Gutherson, Blake, Penisini, Opacic, Simonsson, D. Brown, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Mahoney, Paulo, Lane, Papali’i, N. Brown – Interchanges: Makatoa, Matterson, Cartwright, Kaufusi – Reserves: Rein, Greig, Perham, Rodwell, Naiduki, Loizou, El-Zakhem
Unavailable: Marata Niukore, Haze Dunster, Maika Sivo, Sean Russell, Jake Arthur, Ray Stone
ST. GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
- St. George Illawarra Dragons produced an extremely poor performance as they fell to local rivals Cronulla Sharks last week and even the terrible weather conditions could not act as a leveller in that contest.
- The Dragons were well-beaten in that contest as they struggled on both sides of the ball and they must now deal with the loss of the suspended Jaydn Su’A and injured Cody Ramsey with Aaron Woods and Mat Feagai coming into the 17.
Starting 13: Sloan, Mat. Feagai, Suli, Lomax, Ravalawa, Amone, B. Hunt, F. Molo, Mbye, Lawrie, Bird, Gosiewski, Sims – Interchanges: De Belin, Kerr, Ford, Woods– Reserves: Moga, Faamausili, Alvaro, McCullough, J. Hunt, Reuben, Burgess
Unavailable: Billy Burns, Tyrell Fuimaono, Josh McGuire, Max Feagai, Cody Ramsey, Jaydn Su’A
THE PREDICTION
Parramatta Eels recorded a memorable victory over Melbourne Storm in their clash last week and they will be confident of making it three wins from four this season as they host St. George Illawarra Dragons. The Eels don’t lose many at CommBank Stadium and with the Dragons performing so poorly in their loss to Cronulla Sharks last week, their tenth defeat in their last 11 matches, the Eels home side have to be favoured here with a comfortable success of 13+ points on the cards.
