Preview:
A 26-14 win over the Rabbitohs last week was enough to vault the Eels back inside the eight, but Parramatta continues to cause headaches for punters and tipsters alike.
Brad Arthur’s side is perhaps the most bipolar team in the competition, which hardly fills you with confidence ahead of this week’s trip to Shark Park.
Cronulla enjoyed some time off last week following their blowout win over the Dragons in Round 11. The Sharks have won four of their last five games against the Eels, but they’ll be hungry to make up for their 12-point loss to Parramatta back in Round 4.
With the ladder in mind, this is by far the most interesting game of the weekend. The Sharks sit sixth, only two-points clear of the eighth-place Eels.
Parramatta can win this game based on talent alone, but unfortunately, we’re yet to receive a full 80-minute effort from the Eels.
As for the Sharks, they enter this game full of confidence knowing their last home loss to the Eels came way back in 2014.
Cronulla’s defence remains vastly underrated this season, evident in the fact they held the Dragons to just nine-points a fortnight ago.
The Eels currently lead the league in errors committed, so back Cronulla and their 7-3 record as the home favourite to win a close one.
