Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm Preview

Fresh off a stirring upset over the Broncos, Parramatta will look to keep spoiling finals ambitions when they host Melbourne at CommBank Stadium on Thursday night. Mitch Moses’ return proved the difference in last week’s shock 22-20 win, lifting the Eels off the bottom of the ladder and injecting belief into a previously struggling side.

The challenge now ramps up against a Storm outfit riding a five-game win streak over Parramatta, including a dominant 56-18 Round 1 drubbing. Melbourne held off the Roosters in a thriller last week but suffered a blow with Jahrome Hughes dislocating his shoulder. Cameron Munster and Ryan Papenhuyzen return in timely fashion, with Munster to partner Tyran Wishart in the halves.

Parramatta stick with an unchanged 17, while the Storm make several key reshuffles, including Nick Meaney shifting to the centres and Tui Kamikamica starting at lock. The Eels are riding momentum—but taking down the Storm twice in a season is no easy task.
