Coach Jason Ryles sticks solid with his squad after a narrow loss to the Bulldogs on Monday. Hookers Tallyn Da Silva and Harrison Edwards could again be a game day swap as they have been the past two weeks but it's the same 19 who will look to turn around a three-game losing streak. Skipper Mitch Moses is expected to line up for the Blues in Origin Two and will then look to make his return for the Eels in Round 17 against the Rabbitohs when Jonah Pezet (hamstring) may also be a chance to return.

Referee: Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski

"Also, keep an eye on Petrus, who could be starting by 2028. Younger and cheaper option and could be better than both Kautoga and Blore. No guarantees but all things we've seen so far tell us he could be special as a back-rower for us."

"How is he prioritizing Origin? Doctors rules him out. As I said before you really think Moses sat out of Dogs voluntarily, the competitor he is? Considering he has played nearly every game this year busted up?"

"Right, and what can we do? We cannot force Moses to not play. We actually cannot.
Also, can everybody, including yourself, stop this rubbish that he sat out of Dogs match for Origin. He was told no from doctors, then that was on Ryles to make the…"

      90% sure. Haven't announced the team officially but I have been told he is in with Petrus and Ryda.

        Bloomfield made the team however his school withdrew him due to union commitment which sucks. So will have to wait till next year

Canberra can turn up without their best players. I see this going either as it did for us against the Titans, or the opposite.

I think we'll win. Big games from Iongi, Tallyn, and the two young props.
