Show Preview
Round seven of NRL action concludes at CommBank Stadium as the inner west derby between Parramatta Eels and Canterbury Bulldogs kicks off. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4.05pm AEST.
The Eels will be buoyed at getting back to winning ways, but their performance against the Tigers showed that they are anything but premiership contenders.
Granted, the Eels have had a tough draw but they never should have let their opponents back after taking an early 12-0 lead. Co-captain Junior Paulo is back from suspension, pushing Wiremu Grieg to the bench.
The Bulldogs have not shown much in attack, but they have fought tooth and nail this season regardless of the result. The injury woes were meant to end after Josh Addo-Carr had a freak injury against the Rabbitohs on Good Friday.
To add insult to injury, Viliame Kikau injured his pec at training, and will miss a fair amount of action. Braidon Burns replaces Addo-Carr, while Tevita Pangai Jnr and Raymond Faitala-Mariner return from injuries.
The Eels have missed the services of Reed Mahoney from dummy half, which has been evident in the early rounds of the 2023 NRL season. Mahoney has been arguably the best Bulldogs player this season. If Mahoney wins the battle of the dummy halves against Josh Hodgson, the Bulldogs could conjure up an upset at Parramatta. Bulldogs by 4.
