Thanks for joining us for the final time on Thursday Night Footy in season 2022 as Parramatta take on Melbourne tonight. Lots on the line tonight for both sides, a win for either side will seal their spot in the top four, while a Melbourne win means Parramatta won't know their opponent until tomorrow night's feature game is finished. On the team front tonight, Marata Niukore and Ryan Matterson have done their usual switcharoo. For Melbourne, Jahrome Hughes is OUT with calf tightness and Cooper Johns is IN. Tui Kamikamica is on the run on side with Josh King rotating back to the bench. Kickoff shortly before 8, won't miss a second of the action here on the LU live blog.
