Original Teams and Stats - https://www.thetragicblog.net/post/the-tragics-teams-parramatta-eels-vs-south-sydney-rabbitohs-friday-7-55pmp
Eels - Only one change to the side that beat Manly last week with Ofahiki Ogden joining the interchange.
Rabbitohs - Hame Sele returns from a hamstring injury at prop pushing Daniel Suluka-Fifita out of the side.
Lachlan Ilias is a late withdrawal with a glute injury, replaced at halfback by Dean Hawkins.
Taane Milne replaces Blake Taafe on the interchange in a late switch with Taafe moving to 18th Man.
Tom Burgess is out with a groin injury after serving his suspension.
The Tragics Tip - With Lachlan Ilias out it suddenly evens up this match up a lot with both teams first choice halfback out, but Jake Arthur has proved that he is more than a capable #7 while Hawkins may be a great half in reserve grade but hasn't proven himself at first grade yet. Look out for the Parramatta forwards to hassle him which means that Cody Walker needs to step up in order for South Sydney to have any chance tonight but as Latrell Mitchell proved last week that he is South Sydney's key player and I think he'll step up tonight. Rabbitohs to Win in a tight contest.
