Parramatta’s season hangs in the balance after enduring four losses in their last five games. However, they return from a bye week to face Brisbane, who have also been struggling due to injuries.
The Eels’ recent form has been concerning, suffering defeats to the Dolphins (44-16) and Sea Eagles (32-18) before their break. Additionally, Clint Gutherson’s knee injury requires surgery, and Mitch Moses is still sidelined for a few more weeks.
With Gutherson out, Blaize Talagi steps in as the primary fullback, and Sean Russell replaces Morgan Harper. Bryce Cartwright provides reinforcement from the bench, and Ethan Sanders’ debut in the Sea Eagles match offers a glimmer of hope.
The Broncos’ momentum was halted by a 40-18 loss to the Roosters, which also resulted in long-term injuries for Adam Reynolds (biceps) and Jesse Arthars (jaw).
Josh Rogers fills in for Reynolds, and Corey Oates takes Arthars’ place. Jack Gosiewski joins the bench for Fletcher Baker.
Despite their recent struggles, the Broncos have a favorable record against the Eels, winning three of their last four encounters, including impressive victories in Darwin (26-16) and at Suncorp Stadium (54-10). However, the Eels have historically performed well against the Broncos at CommBank Stadium.
While the Broncos have coped well in Reynolds’ absence, Parramatta may struggle without Moses, further compounded by Gutherson’s absence, which could affect their direction on the field.
