Preview:
The Storm have plummeted down to fourth on the ladder following last week’s two-point loss to the Sharks, but that hasn’t deterred the bookies.
Melbourne owns two straight wins over the Eels, but if you caught a glimpse of Parra’s resounding win over the Dragons last week, it’s safe to say this Saturday evening blockbuster is the must-watch game of the Magic Round.
The Eels were dominant for the second time in their new stadium handing the Dragons a 32-18 loss. Parramatta were hungry for the points in the second half with Blake Ferguson leading the charge, and if they can play the same fast-paced brand of football, they’ll certainly cause some problems for Melbourne’s defence.
The Eels are 3-9 as the underdog against the Storm, but if they can start this game with some points on the scoreboard – something they failed to do last week against the Dragons – they should be able to keep this game close. Melbourne lost back-to-back games only once last year, but after three-straight less than convincing performances, this game holds big upset potential.
