A Monday holiday showdown at Accor Stadium to close out the round, with both sides striving to stay in touch with the Top 8.

The 12th-placed, 6-7 Eels could finish the weekend in the Top 8 if other results fall their way, while the Bulldogs may be as many as three wins adrift with a loss.

Canterbury has won only two of its last eight, but there have been positive signs in the last couple of outings.

After hauling in a 14-point deficit to pip Gold Coast in Round 12, the Bulldogs were run down late in a 25-24 defeat to Sydney Roosters last Sunday.

Josh Addo-Carr (two tries, one try assist) and Tevita Pangai Jr (191 metres) shone backing up from Origin, while Matt Burton’s class ensures the Bulldogs are a chance any time they take the field.

Patchy Parramatta went into the bye on the back of a stunning 36-16 turning-point win over streaking Souths and a 24-16 defat of an Origin-depleted North Queensland side.

The off-field charges laid against in-form Dylan Brown shapes as a disruption for the Eels, but Reagan Campbell-Gillard is a huge in this week and Andrew Davey also bolsters a pack still missing Ryan Matterson, and now Wiremu Greig and Joe Ofahengaue.

The Bulldogs have applied for an exemption for Reed Mahoney (head knock) to play, while Jacob Kiraz returns on the wing for Blake Wilson.

Parramatta has won 12 of its last 15 against Canterbury, including a 30-4 drubbing in Round 7 – the fifth straight match between the clubs (the Eels winning four of those) decided by 22-plus points.

Closing out games hasn’t been the Bulldogs’ forte, but they have been largely competitive and shape as a solid option with a sizeable start.
