The upcoming clash between the Eels and Bulldogs is set to reignite one of rugby league's biggest rivalries at CommBank Stadium.
The Bulldogs go into the match with two wins under their belt, while the Eels are still in search of their first victory.
The Eels will be focusing on improving their defense after conceding 88 points in their first two games, while the Bulldogs are looking to continue their scoring spree after putting 40 points past the Titans in their last match.
However, the Bulldogs will be without key players Matt Burton and Viliame Kikau, who are sidelined with MCL injuries.
On the other hand, the Eels are missing captain and halfback Mitchell Moses, leaving Dylan Brown to take charge of leading the Eels attack.
Despite a below-par performance in their last game, Brown is determined to step up in Moses' absence and help his team secure their first win of the season.
"Dylan Brown is tasked with leading the Eels attack in Mitchell Moses' absence, and the five-eighth is eager to find his best form in his final season in the blue and gold," writes nrl.com.au.
With the responsibility of steering the team in the absence of their captain, Brown will need to rise to the occasion and showcase his leadership skills on the field against the Bulldogs.
Both teams will be looking to secure a crucial victory in this highly anticipated showdown, and Brown's performance will be key in determining the outcome of the match.
As the Eels seek to rectify their defensive issues and secure their first win, all eyes will be on Brown as he steps up to the challenge of leading his team to success against the Bulldogs.
