Parramatta Eels vs Melbourne Storm Preview
Melbourne snapped its losing run last week but Craig Bellamy will still see areas requiring improvement, particularly through the middle once fatigue began to creep in. The Storm’s defensive structure around the ruck and short side has looked vulnerable at times this season, an issue dangerous against a playmaker like Mitch Moses.
Parramatta enters this clash riding the emotional high of a golden-point victory, though backing up physically and mentally will be the challenge. Moses remains the key, especially with his ability to identify compressed defensive lines and attack narrow edges. If the Eels can hold firm through the middle and avoid gifting Melbourne momentum, they have the attacking weapons to stay within striking distance throughout. The Storm still possesses the class and experience to control key moments, but this shapes as a far tighter contest than the ladder might suggest.
