NRL Match Previews - Parramatta v Wests (Round 24)

|

  vs  
22-08-2010 03:00PM at Parramatta Stadium

Referee: Shayne Hayne and Ben Cummins
Touch Judges: Paul Holland and Russell Turner
Referee: Sean Hampstead

Just when you think their season is over, Parramatta remind us what they are capable of. Their forwards looked to be done for the season at times during their match against the Titans two weeks ago, but then stood up to be counted against the Broncos last week. This inconsistency is epitomised by the form of Feleti Mateo. If Feleti can produce again in this match against the Tigers on Sunday afternoon, the Eels season will remain alive.  

He won't. The Tigers were super impressive last week and will continue this good form here. Their quicker ruck play and sharper halves will have the Eels out of breath late in the game and the more mobile Tigers pack will take advantage. Some great talent all over the park though and this match will add to the list of many great battles between these two clubs. Hayne v Marshall will have fans gasping once again

My Man of the Match Prediction: Robbie Farah
My Tip: Tigers 28-18
