Melbourne Storm vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Storm are clear favourites to keep alive their unbeaten start to the season at the expense of the Eels on Saturday afternoon.
The started the season understrength and were made even moreso when several key players went down with injury in Round 1, but the Storm rallied to defeat Wests Tigers, while they did allow Souths back into the contest in Round 2, but iced the game in extra time.
The Eels meanwhile leaked 28 points to the Titans in Round 1 but escaped with the W, before suffering defeat to the Sharks in Round 2. They were in both contests the whole way, I would personally be shocked if they didn’t take improvement into this match.
For that reason, I think that the Eels can cover the line as outsiders.
