Parramatta Eels vs Sydney Roosters Preview
The Eels and the Roosters are both firmly entrenched in the fight for one of the final Finals berths this season, and this could very well materialise as the match of the round as a result.
Two of the Eels’ last three games have resulted in some truly shocking losses, and even if they do somehow fall into the finals, they’re not going to progress very far.
The year is also done for halfback Mitchell Moses, who suffered a cheek fracture in last week’s loss to the Broncos.
The Roosters meanwhile are playing with a renewed confidence, and they will only be undone by leaving their run just a little too late, if they in fact are.
They’ve won three of their last four to sit eleventh and they’re another club that just need to keep winning, which I think they will do in Round 25.
Nine of the last eleven games between these two clubs have gone over the total match points line, and I thought the 43.5 on show at publish was a little low again.
