PARRAMATTA EELS VS PENRITH PANTHERS – SUNDAY 23rd MARCH, 8pm, COMMBANK STADIUM, SYDNEY

The grand final rematch couldn’t come at a worse time for the Eels who have started the season 0-3 and are in danger of losing touch with the heavyweights of the competition.

Since the beginning of 2016, only once has a team made the finals following a 0-4 start (Manly, 2021). Defence is the key issue for Parramatta, which has conceded 80 points and 14 tries through three rounds.

The Panthers avoided Sydney’s extreme heat last week and are well-rested off a bye after beating the Rabbitohs 16-10 in Round 2 to square their season ledger at 1-1.
