Wests Tigers vs Parramatta Eels Preview

A sold-out Campbelltown Stadium sets the stage for a gripping western derby, with the wooden spoon on the line for the loser.

Wests Tigers, who finished last in 2022 and 2023, are coming off back-to-back wins against Souths (18-16) and a 34-26 victory over a sin-bin-affected Manly side before last week’s bye. Remarkably, they haven’t won three consecutive games since early 2018. Their recent performances have been spirited, with young players stepping up alongside the experienced Api Koroisau. Josh Feledy comes into the side at centre, with Junior Tupou moving to the wing to cover for the concussed Solomon Alaimalo.

Parramatta Eels recorded their sixth win of the season, dominating the Dragons 44-12 before surviving a late scare to win 44-40. Kelma Tuilagi’s return sees Shaun Lane shift to prop, and Sean Russell replaces Jake Tago on the wing.

The teams have split their last four encounters, with two one-point wins for the Tigers at CommBank Stadium. The Tigers have gained momentum at Campbelltown, winning their last two matches there against the Raiders and Rabbitohs, while the Eels have struggled defensively, conceding 20+ points since Round 4.

As $2.20 underdogs at their suburban home, the Tigers are in a prime position, but expect a tightly contested match as both teams fight to avoid the wooden spoon.
