Centre Sean Russell returns from concussion so Brian Kelly moves to the wing and last week's debutant Araz Nanva slides to the interchange. Charlie Guymer and Jack Williams are the new second-rowers in place of Kelma Tuilagi (head knock) and Kitione Kautoga. The loss of bench forward Sam Tuivaiti (head knock) sees Saxon Pryke join the bench for his NRL debut. Prop Toni Mataele has also been added to the bench as he chases a second NRL appearance after debuting in Round 11 last year.

"These are players we need, they are culture driven players. I'll sign watson as well, add Tago to our side as well. Winners and Heart thats what this club needs to be built on. If im Ryles ill go all in to sign Yeo or Cleary, you've got to do it for…"

That injury report is insane. Insane.

  When you are this badly injured, pack the season up. It's not your year 🤣

Beatie, Miller and Visconti have been promoted to NSW Cup bench after impressive start in JF this year. Jordan Miller is the bloke that got sacked from the Tigers for discplinary issues. He is very big lol. JF are currently sitting in first place with the best defence in the competition.

Rankin has had a pretty impressive start to his coaching career.

  They have done that so sneakily. Didn't even know as Flegg is usually not that good. Once SG Ball is over they will be getting better with the likes of Petrus, Bamblett, Talagi, Koina and the likes coming up.

I'm putting an apple on Preston to score. He's going to terrorise Volkman all game.

  By halftime

This is going to be very ugly. I can see this Eels side/s in 2026 breaking all types of negative records.Wooden Spoon for certain. There's no way back from this unfortunately. It will be 40- Zip by halftime and the Dogs will ease off the pedal for 10-15 minutes and put another 15 to 20 points on to end the game.

  15-20 points? They kick a FG in that do they?
