Preview:
The Eels are hoping to string together their second straight win this week after defeating the Warriors by two points at home last Saturday.
Parramatta has won four of its last five games, and if they can replicate their performance against the Dragons back in Round 8, the Eels should have no trouble earning another blowout victory over their bitter rivals.
The Dragons have very little to play for other than bragging rights, while they’ll also be hoping to end their four-game losing streak after last week’s loss to the Rabbitohs.
The early market for this game looks a little surprising considering where each team stands on the ladder. Parramatta has easily been one of the most inconsistent sides in the competition this year, but they’ve held the wood over the Dragons in recent years having won four of their last five meetings.
With even money on offer, it’s worth backing Parra to complete the season sweep. The Dragons struggled mightily with South Sydney’s top playmakers last week missing 25 tackles.
If those kinds of errors creep into St. George’s game again, this one could turn ugly.
Tip: Parramatta Eels at $1.97
