Not really looking forward to this one to be honest. Writing the preview or watching the game, I’m not feeling the Parramatta Eels after the embarrassment of last week. Traditionally only two results are possible here: a bounceback upset for…
While I’m not taking much more from last week’s unexpected win than the ability to enjoy engaging with football again for the first time in a fortnight, the Parramatta Eels have a ripping opportunity to go back-to-back against a weakened…
