It’s been a miserable year for both of these sides.

West have lost their last four matches with the most recent, a poor performance against Gold Coast 36 – 6. The loss has seen West concede an average, 33 points per game in the past month.

Benji Marshall impending departure from the club continues to be a distraction that the club itself and players can well do without.

On the flipside, Parramatta could welcome back star fullback Jarrod Hayne from injury.

He’ll certainly be a welcomed return for the last placed Eels who will take the field not having won a game in their past ten matches.

In the past two weeks, Parramatta have conceded 80 points and posted just 16. In fact, Parra haven’t scored more than 10 points in a game since round 14.

It’s hard to find a valid reason to select either team. Maybe the home ground advantage coupled with the possible return of Hayne and, the fact that for Parramatta this is more than likely their last chance to post a win in season 2013, will be enough to see them over the line.

West has won six of the seven matches between the two sides with the last three games producing a total match point score of 49, 77 and 61.
