Kick off!

If Penrith win, obviously look for big games from Matty Moylan and Bryce Cartwright. Penrith are coming out now...

Parra are heading out now to what looks a solid 15-16K crowd.

Kick off very soon.

Despite having lost their past two games and Parramatta's recent winning streak, the absence of Norman sees Penrith come into this one $1.25 favourites with Parramatta at a juicy $4.15.

In terms of tips, I was opting towards Parramatta despite being a Penrith fan, but with Norman stood down, the Eels will lack creativity and direction and I'll stick with Penrith by 4. Eels are a danger as always though.

Big game for Penrith today with tough games against the Broncos and Warriors away from home, so a win is needed today. And, of course it's again a must win game for Parramatta, who have showed resilience in all games this season in the midst of adversity.

For Penrith, Tyrone Peachey starts in the centres with Zak Hardaker benched for the home side. Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Suaia Matagi swap with the latter to start at prop. Jeremy Latimore drops off the bench with Sitaleki Akauola coming in to replace him. Meanwhile, another week of headlines sees Clinton Gutherson replace Corey Norman at five-eighth with Bureta Faraimo taking his spot on the wing and Manu Ma'u shifting to the centres with Brad Takairangi out due to injury. Peni Terepo moves to the starting side with Rory O'Brien a late inclusion on the bench.
