Newcastle Knights vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Eels look well placed to bounce back from a shock defeat when they travel to Newcastle on Sunday.
I doubt even Michael Maguire foresaw the Eels losing in Round 6, but it was just the next example of why they once again won’t be winning a premiership in 2022.
Regardless, the Eels are usually good the week after a loss, and they line up opposite a pretty inconsistent and one-dimensional Knights outfit in Round 7.
The Knights suffered another defeat last weekend, this time to the Dragons, and they are now winless since Round 2.
Finals footy is already looking a bit beyond them, and it won’t get any easier for them through the Origin period, when their few shining lights are all called up.
I think that the Eels will come back and make a real statement, and they are my best bet of the week.
