Accor Stadium for the Monday Night Football slot with Canterbury bouncing off a loss to the Tigers. Cameron Ciraldo names a settled 17 with only minor bench tweaks — Sean O'Sullivan and Logan Spinks added in place of Lipoi Hopoi and Jonathan Sua. Connor Tracey (hamstring) and Marcelo Montoya (knee) are listed among the reserves as they work their way back from injury, which is positive news for the run home.
Parramatta continue to rebuild. Ronald Volkman and Joash Papalii pair up in the halves with Tallyn Da Silva named to start at hooker (Harrison Edwards on the bench, though they could swap on game day as they did against the Knights). After a sternum injury comeback in NSW Cup last weekend, Ryley Smith is listed in the reserves. Teancum Brown has been added to the six-man bench in place of Charlie Guymer.
The Bulldogs' spine (Galvin, Burton, Mann) plus Crichton in the centres has too much class for an Eels side still finding its identity. Canterbury cover the line at home. Stephen Crichton gets the anytime tryscorer pick — the Bulldogs' captain centre backs himself in attack every week.
Bulldogs: Settled lineup; Tracey (hamstring) + Montoya (knee) listed in reserves. Eels: Da Silva starts at hooker; Ryley Smith back in reserves from sternum injury.
Confirmed by NRL.com on Tuesday 2 June 2026. Two players omitted 24 hours out, final 19 confirmed 90 minutes before kickoff.
