The Rabbitohs and Eels will both be without key players for Friday night's Round 12 NRL Telstra Premiership clash at ANZ Stadium.
South Sydney have been forced into a change with Bryson Goodwin ruled out, his omission means exciting tackle-breaking youngster Tyrell Fuimaono starts at centre with Zane Musgrove joining the bench. George Burgess starts, pushing Robbie Rochow back to the interchange.
Workhorse Parramatta forward Nathan Brown has failed to recover from a rib injury suffered last week and is replaced at lock by Daniel Alvaro. Siosaia Vave starts in the front row, with Suaia Matagi moving back to the bench. Will Smith joins the final interchange.
