Melbourne Storm vs Parramatta Eels Preview
Coming off a narrow defeat and grappling with key absences, Melbourne Storm aims to rebound against Parramatta, who also face setbacks with injured star players. Despite their loss to Cronulla, Storm’s Tyran Wishart and Sua Faalogo impressed, while Xavier Coates returns as their sole change.
Meanwhile, Parramatta struggles, losing five of their last six matches. However, their recent loss to Brisbane was marred by errors, yet Blaize Talagi’s standout performance offers hope. Daejarn Asi and Bryce Cartwright’s returns boost the lineup.
Although Storm dominated recent encounters, Eels have a chance to capitalize on Storm’s vulnerabilities. With a strong start, Parramatta aims for a much-needed upset to alleviate pressure.
