THE TEAM NEWS
SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS
- South Sydney Rabbitohs produced a diabolical effort in their most recent outing against rivals St. George Illawarra Dragons as they were condemned to a humiliating loss with them conceding six first half tries without reply.
- They will have to show plenty of character to put that horror show behind them but the return of key man Latrell Mitchell could prove to be huge for them with the star fullback making his long-awaited return from a hamstring injury.
Starting 13: Mitchell, Johnston, Milne, Graham, Paulo, Walker, Ilias, Tatola, Cook, Nicholls, Koloamatangi, Arrow, Murray – Interchanges: Nikorima, Burgess, Havili, Sele – Reserves: Taffe, Tass, Knight, Lovett, Moale
Unavailable: Michael Chee Kam, Jacob Host, Peter Mamouzelos
PARRAMATTA EELS
- After they were embarrassed by Canterbury Bulldogs in their previous outing, Parramatta Eels had a point to prove and they did just that as they overcame Sydney Roosters with an eye-catching performance.
- The Eels scored some spectacular tries in that contest as they showed what they are capable of when keeping the ball alive and their ball movement will be crucial once again here as their unchanged side looks to exploit the South Sydney edges.
Starting 13: Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Blake, Simonsson, D. Brown, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Mahoney, Paulo, Lane, Papali’i, Matterson – Interchanges: Makatoa, Niukore, Kaufusi, Rodwell – Reserves: Opacic, Arthur, N. Brown, Cartwright, Perham
Unavailable: Haze Dunster, Ray Stone
THE PREDICTION
This is an intriguing matchup between two teams desperate for a win as South Sydney Rabbitohs take on Parramatta Eels. The Bunnies capitulated in their clash with St. George Illawarra Dragons as some poor discipline combined with lacklustre defence saw them suffer a humiliating first 40 minutes which ultimately cost them the game. The Eels on the other hand were brilliant in their win over Sydney Roosters but must build on that as they aim to get their top four challenge back on track. Both teams are capable of winning this but while there could well be a response from Souths having won the past four meetings between the two, the Eels are favoured to make it four wins from their last five matches.
