We are underway at ANZ Stadium, with Tim Mannah bringing the ball back for the Eels.
Welcome to ANZ Stadium for the opening match of Round 12, where South Sydney host the Parramatta Eels. While it is representative round, both of these sides are unaffected by Origin, therefore we should see a close contest,.
Souths have a few changes with Bryson Goodwin out and rookie Tyrell Fuimaono promoted to the centres. George Burgess starts in the front row after returning from suspension with Robbie Rochow starting from the bench.
Parramatta also have a few late changes with Nathan Brown ruled out out. This sees Daniel Alvaro come in at lock. Siosaia Vave starts at prop with Suaia Matagi dropping back to the bench.
Both sides have been very inconsistent so far in 2017, so it is hard to tip a clear winner, with the Bunnies going in slight favourites with the bookies.
Stay tuned for all the action @LeagueUnlimited, kick off not far away!
