Cronulla Sharks vs Parramatta Eels Preview

The sixth instalment of Magic Round kicks off with a thrilling Friday night clash between the Cronulla Sharks and Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium. Parramatta comes into this game fresh off a bye, having secured just their second win of the season with a 38-22 victory over the Tigers on Easter Monday, which marked Mitchell Moses’ return for 2025. The Sharks, still reeling from a heartbreaking 20-18 loss to the Tigers in golden point last weekend, will be hoping to bounce back. Their last encounter with the Eels saw Moses put on a dominant display, and the Sharks will be looking to avoid a repeat of that performance. Both teams have struggled during Magic Round, with Cronulla winning two of their five matches and Parramatta having only one win from five. The Sharks welcome back centre KL Iro and forward Braden Hamlin-Uele, while the Eels make one change, replacing the suspended Kelma Tuilagi with Charlie Guymer in an otherwise settled lineup.
