Parramatta Eels

The Parramatta Eels will receive a double boost to their outside backs. Maika Sivo will play his first game of the season after his suspension ends, while Bailey Simonsson returns from the 11-day stand-down period.

Second-rower Bryce Cartwright picked up a minor injury against the Manly Sea Eagles but is expected to be fit and ready to fire against the Tigers.

The club also confirmed on Monday evening that star Mitchell Moses will spend at least two months on the sidelines with injury. The injury will see either Daejarn Asi or Ethan Sanders take his place in the side.

Projected Round 4 Team: 1.ย Clinton Gutherson 2. Maika Sivoย 3.ย Will Penisini 4. Bailey Simonssonย 5.ย Sean Russellย 6.ย Dylan Brown 7.

Wests Tigers

After an incredible victory against the Cronulla Sharks, the Tigers will only need to make one change after Alex Twal did not return to the game after being involved in a head clash.

Twal's extensive history with concussions will likely see him miss the game with Zero Tackleย understanding that Sione Fainu is firming for his NRL debut. Justin Matamua and Brandon Tumeth are two other options.

Projected Round 4 Team: 1.ย Jahream Bulaย 2.ย Charlie Staines 3. Justin Olamย 4.ย Solomona Faataapeย 5.ย Junior Tupouย 6.ย Lachlan Galvinย 7.ย Aidan Sezerย 8.ย Stefano Utoikamanuย 9.ย Apisai Koroisauย 10.ย David Klemmerย 11.ย Isaiah Papali'iย 12.ย John Bateman 13.
