Where It Will Be Won: One of the big questions surrounding the Tigers this season has been whether they boast the forward depth to make an impact in this competition and with Keith Galloway sidelined with injury they will be tested against a Parramatta side that has performed well though the middle this season.

The Tigers will rely on a particularly young front row that includes starting duo Aaron Woods (two tries, 20 hit-ups and 144 metres last week) and Jack Buchanan (99 metres) as well as Matthew Bell and Ben Murdoch-Masila.

The History: Played 26; Eels 15, Wests Tigers 10, drawn 1. The Wests Tigers hold an advantage in recent history, winning six of the past nine clashes between the sides.

Televised: Channel 9 – Live 8pm; Fox Sports – Delayed 10.30pm.

The Way We See It: The jury is still out on both of these sides although we do like what we’ve seen from Parramatta in their two outings against the Warriors and Bulldogs so far – even if they couldn’t quite get the job done against last year’s grand finalists a week ago.

On form, they could prove a touch too solid for the under-strength Tigers but we can’t ignore the Leichhardt Oval factor. The Tigers always lift when playing here and will be extremely tough to beat. Eels by two points.
