New Zealand Warriors vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Warriors host the struggling Parramatta Eels at Mt Smart Stadium, with crucial post-season implications on the line.
Key returns for the Warriors include Shaun Johnson and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, strengthening a team that barely edged out the Wests Tigers 28-16. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck shifts to the wing, and Tom Ale steps in for the injured Jackson Ford. Despite a solid performance from Addin Fonua-Blake and a strong showing from Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and RTS, the Warriors need a more convincing display to secure their spot in the finals.
Parramatta is on a six-match losing streak but showed resilience in a 32-14 loss to Melbourne. With Mitch Moses out, Dylan Brown and a dynamic back-row will be key for the Eels.
The Warriors’ dominant 46-10 win over the Eels last season and Parramatta’s poor away record (0-9) suggest a win for the Warriors is likely. However, with the Eels providing potential value against a heavy line, this clash promises to be intriguing.
