Eels Vs Storm Preview – Our Bets & Insights

We’re back for the 2023 season and as always, we will be supplying you with our bets and insights for every game of every round this year.

Parramatta and Melbourne launch the 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership season on Thursday night with all eyes on two clubs that could go either way this year.

The Storm, perhaps surprisingly, are slight favourites on the road – despite trial injuries to Justin Olam, Dean Ieremia and Tui Kamikamica compounding the absence of Ryan Papenhuyzen and the exit of the Bromwich brothers, Felise Kaufusi and Brandon Smith.


Interesting Insights
  • The Storm have not lost a Round 1 game since 2001 against the Bulldogs.
  • The Storm have lost three of their four games at CommBank Stadium.
  • Each of the last six matches between Parramatta and Melbourne in Sydney have gone UNDER the total match points line.
  • Eels winger Maika Sivo has scored 36 tries in 37 games at CommBank Stadium.

  • 1 unit ($100) Eels H2H @ $2.15 With TopSport
