SCRUM EELS - Tigers with another handling error inside the Eels half.
SCRUM TIGERS - Forward flick pass by Jennings and it goes into touch

Unfortunately, they did nothing with it and the set ends with a Reynolds kick that finds Gutherson, 25m from his own line.
Tigers actually have the ball now. They've found a way to stem the flow of points is to have the ball.
Apologies for the lack of updates. This Tigers fan has been distracted with facepalming

On the left side, Salmon with a deft short ball to the lead runner Lane, who strolls through the feeble Tigers defence to bring up the 50

Play stopped as Moeroa is down getting treatment.
The Eels get the onslaught back underway. Can the Tigers fight back? They need to break the record for biggest comeback, set by the Cowboys at 26 points, in order to win here.
Parramatta's attack comes to nothing as the ball trickles over the sideline. Wests Tigers scrum on their own 10m with less than a minute to go.
Fonua loses it on the first! Parramatta could go further ahead
Parramatta get inside the Wests Tigers' 30m but there's a bad pass and Shaun Lane can't hold it.
No dramas at all for Marsters from in front and the margin drops back to 24.
A clever little kick inside from Luke Brooks and it evades a bunch of players... and Matulino picks it up and easily dives over under the posts! Tigers finally on the board.
Wests Tigers with an attack set after an Eels error. They need points now.
Thirty nil. Wowee.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? Salmon runs the support line after an unlikely break. This is disgustingly bad from the Wests Tigers middle defenders - and exquisite from Parramatta.
Moses nails another and it's just destruction now.
GUTHO BREAKS THEM OPEN, JENNINGS IN SUPPORT AND ANOTHER PEARLER!
The Wests Tigers tried to be a bit entertaining.... but it's fielded by Sivo and the Eels are.... GUTHO! LINE BREAK!
Moses converts. What a start!
Jenko gets the green light on the left edge and the Eels are absolutely hammering the Wests Tigers here!
Bunker for a possible Eels try... checking obstruction.
Mahoney breaks through, Eels get it back after a kick deflection next play... huge pressure here!
No drama at all for Moses from beside the sticks.
TAKA! Moses puts in a pinpoint kick and it's Brad Takairangi who jumps highest, grabs and its grounded. Beautiful.
Parramatta make good metres on the following set and get a PENALTY after Luke Brooks came in and made a tackle dangerous. Big chance for a second try here the Eels.
Perfect. Converts his own try from the sideline.

Dan Alvaro has failed his HIA and will not return.
Josh Hoffman claims a try in the corner but Reed Mahoney has thrown it forward and the Tigers escape.
Robbie Farah goes off for a HIA now! Dropping like flies early!
The Eels finish the set with a great kick by Mitchell Moses, and the chase from Peni Terepo traps Josh Reynolds. Drop-out Eels.
Marata Niukore takes a long run down the side after getting behind the edge defender and Eels' second-rower is away off a Takairangi pass.. he's chased down the other side of halfway and his head smacks into Moses Mbye's hip. He'll go off now for a HIA.
The Tigers run it on the last through Moses Mbye but he's in too much traffic and it's a handover.
Moses spills it from dummy half inside his own 40m. Big chance for the away side.
Wests Tigers with plenty of metres in this set! Brooks grubbers on the last but it's shepherded dead with no contact. Eels 20m restart.
Parramatta force a drop-out after Moses put it high - his opposite number and former teammate Luke Brooks takes it... WAIT - the Bunker tips them off that Brad Takairangi knocked it on in the contest! 20m restart for Wests Tigers.
Dan Alvaro takes the first hit up and he is hammered... illegally according to Gerard Sutton and Chris Butler. Penalty against Ryan Matterson for the contact as Alvaro is taken off for a HIA.
Warm-ups done. Time for action! Wests Tigers kick off and Parramatta have it first.
Now, the National Anthem of Australia.
Aunty Julie Jones now offers the Welcome to Country on behalf of the Dharug people.
What an occasion. Eels players shaking the hands of a raft of club legends from the clubs history, particularly the four premiership sides in the 80's.
They're followed by Parramatta in that wonderful heritage jumper. Blake Ferguson is out, replaced on the wing by Josh Hoffman. Moeroa benched with Terepo starting at lock.
Excitement building at @BankwestStadium ahead of kickoff which is about half an hour away.
