Referee: Wyatt Raymond

A boost for the Eels with star winger Josh Addo-Carr (thumb) back on deck so Sean Russell moves to centre and Brian Kelly drops to the extended bench. Jack Williams slides to prop in place of the suspended J'maine Hopgood with Kelma Tuilagi joining the starting side. Sam Tuivaiti has again been named in No.15 and will be hoping for game time after a reshuffle last week saw Joash Papalii sent into the game when Isaiah Iongi left the field for a HIA.

I am very concerned with Kelma Tuilagi on the edge. Defensively he can be very suspect. At least the Fox is back.

  I doubt Taulagi plays the 80, Williams can't shift to edge when a middle comes on. Might get 50 min from Kelma

    Well Williams can come off in the rotation and come back in and play the rest of the game from the edge about 50mins in.

  Needs a few rounds to get match fit, same as last year.

  Agree and it's often effort areas that let's him down I.e. too slow on the inside shoulder/ not responding quick enough to second phase play. Would have gone moretti bench and left Tuilagi out

Would like to see Moretti on the bench instead of Doorey

Agree, Super. Tuilagi had not improved that much. He is rocks and diamond and almost always too slow to stand up to be a marker after a tackle. Maybe it will be better if Samrani is there instead of him since Samrani has a better work rate and footy IQ than Tuilagi. Fingers crossed Tuilagi will aurprise us formthe sake of the team.

Rather Moretti and Samrani

  Same here Mallee at the expense of TDS and our incumbent right winger
