THE BATTLE OF BROOKVALE 
EELS V BULLDOGS

Bennett will be drawing on his knowledge of his former club to upset the Rabbitohs and keep the Dolphins’ amazing season going.

The Ferrari of fullbacks, Latrell Mitchell, will meet “The Hammer”, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, in an exhilarating match-up behind two packs of forwards primed for a ferocious battle. 

Friday Night Footy reignites the deep-seated rivalry between the Manly Sea Eagles and Melbourne Storm. Vivid memories of the infamous 2011 Battle of Brookvale come to the fore every time these teams meet at Manly’s home ground, and Manly need a big scalp after being demolished by the Panthers last week. 

Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic hold the keys to victory for the Sea Eagles, who will have their hands full containing the brilliance of Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Jahrome Hughes.

The Eels and Bulldogs square off in a Sunday Arvo Footy clash between elite playmakers Mitch Moses and Matt Burton, with both sides yet to drop into their winning groove this season. 

The Bulldogs are beefed up by the return of bruising forwards Viliame Kikau and Tevita Pangai Junior while the Eels get their Origin forward Junior Paulo back on deck.

Wide World of Sports has exclusive access to Commbank Stadium for its Sunday Arvo Footy commentary team this week, one of more than 140 rugby league games it is bringing viewers for free in 2023.
