ANZ Stadium, Sydney
It’s been a tough season for both of these proud Sydney clubs, but with a wooden spoon potentially on the line for the 14th-placed Eels and the last-placed Bulldogs, there is plenty to play for between these old rivals.
Recent FormParramatta are in last place on the ladder with a 3-14 record. They have lost three straight and eight of their last nine. The Eels have the worst ranked attack but have posted 16 or more in four straight. Parramatta rank 14th in defence. Canterbury have moved up to 14th though they have just a 4-13 record. The Bulldogs have won just one of their last seven and dropped their last two. They rank 13th in scoring while they are the 10th best defensive team. Canterbury have conceded an average of 24.4ppg in their last five.
Key MatchupClint Gutherson v Will Hopoate: Gutherson has struggled to reach the lofty heights of 2017, with his comeback from an ACL injury slowing him down. However, since he has been handed the captaincy, he’ll be looking to lead from the front and finish the season off strongly for the Eels as they look to avoid the spoon. Hopoate was given a licence to offload against the Rabbitohs and offload he did! Hoppa made an impressive 10 offloads and produced one of the best matches of his career, running the ball 30 times for 290 metres.
