The Eels have won the last 14 games played at Commbank Stadium. Junior Paulo is back from suspension and the Eels need a win. They scraped home from the Tigers on Easter Monday thanks to Mitchell Moses but did not look convincing at all.

Changes: Ryan Sutton (front row to bench), Corey Waddell (second row to bench)

I hear Viliame Kikau is out for three months after suffering a pectoral injury during training. The Dogs have enough here to be a nuisance especially with Reed Mahoney,and Tevita Pangai Junior given his first start of the season.

Referees: Chris Butler; Sideline Officials: Wyatt Raymond, Nick Beashel; Video Referees: Kasey Badger;

PREDICTION.

I will go Eels here minus 4.5 points @ $1.60,but they do not look like the side that played last year. They seem to have lost their way a little. So, the Dogs look a good bet here at plus 11.5 points start @ $1.69
