Off we go for Round 23 of the NRL season. Adam Gee in charge.

Welcome to Accor Stadium for this Round 23 match in the Telstra Premiership between home team South Sydney and the Penrith side. Both sides come into this match looking to improve their finals credentials. Souths made a big statement last week with a thumping win over Parramatta, while Penrith's attack flounded without most of their spine. South Sydney's side tonight sees Campbell Graham and Lachlan Ilias return from injury in an unchanged lineup. Penrith have some returning faces with Taylan May returning at the expense of Sunia Turuva. Mitch Kenny gets a rare start at the hands of Apisai Koroisau. J'maine Hopgood is on the bench replacing Scott Sorensen. Kickoff approaching from Homebush.
