Penrith Panthers vs Parramatta Eels Preview
Parramatta had a star-crossed 2023 but their year was certainly highlighted by two gutsy wins over Penrith.
They certainly lift for the Panthers.
Unfortunately this week, they catch Penrith off not only a loss but being held scoreless and that puts them in a very dangerous position.
Penrith have covered 12 of 15 off a loss including a 6-0 cover record at Penrith Stadium over the last three years when off a loss.
The Panthers are also 16-8 against the number at home when favoured by more than a converted try.
Penrith just have too much talent and will be far too focused for the Eels.
Nathan Cleary has scored in five of his last six games including his last meeting with the Eels.
Taylan May has 16 tries in 23 NRL games and looked the most dangerous Panther in Round 1.
