Penrith Panthers vs Parramatta Eels Preview
A six-point loss to the Eels back in Round 5 helped kick-start Penrith’s current 12-game winning streak and they appear a great bet to extend that record even further on Friday night against an underperforming Eels side.
Parramatta walked away with the chocolates on Sunday against the Warriors, but their defence through the middle left a lot to be desired.
Life is about to get even tougher for coach Brad Arthur with Dylan Brown likely out for the remainder of the season.
The Panthers, meanwhile, should receive an added boost in the form of electrifying winger Charlie Staines, while Isaah Yeo remains a good chance to play after suffering a head knock.
Parramatta has really struggled to play a full 80-minutes over the last six weeks, which doesn’t bode particularly well against a Panthers side that ranks second in the league in points and tries.
The Eels have scored over 20 points only once in their last six games and they won’t find this any easier in front of a hostile Panthers crowd.
Penrith has covered in four of its last six games as the line favourite at home, so back the Panthers to cover.
