As a result of an early try scored by Trbojevic and successful conversions by Garrick, the home team prevailed in the first half of that encounter by a score of 12-6. However, they had a far better performance in the second half, as evidenced by the fact that they won the dominating match 19-0.

Parramatta Eels - visiting Eels to win

The Eels have gotten off to a rough start this season, dropping their first two matches to the Melbourne Storm and the Cronulla Sharks, respectively. Yet, there is a significant amount of room for development with this team, as they are currently performing at a lower level than they did in the previous season. The fact that they are considered the underdogs in this match is indicative of how low they have been rated during the current campaign. They are currently located in the 16th slot in the standings of the National Rugby League.
