Well that's the pre-game coverage for you all sorted. The Tarantosaurus Tip says EELS 13+, yet Tarantosaurus is locked out of footytips... so unfortunately he has to go against his own tip.

Jarryd Hayne once again not wanting to play against the Eels for the third time this year. (once in Nines, twice in the NRL season). He may say he's injured, but we've all got that feeling about it... that feeling he has a dream once again.

LATE MAIL Eels: Simplicity here. Takairangi out this week, Daniel Alvaro fills in for him, Will Smith fills the bench. How easy is that!

LATE MAIL Titans: The visitors first, and holy crap, their team list is shocking. Zillman to fullback, Phillip Sami filling the wing, Morgan Boyle taking a front row spot, with Leivaha Pulu filling the Lock position. Ben Nakubuwai fills the final spot on the bench. Could this giant mixed lineup pave the way for the Eels? Let's check the Eels late mail.

Parramatta's team that they can hardly beat, is the Titans, only winning 5 of 16 occasions. A poor win rate of 31.25%

Let's get started with historical statistics:

Welcome to Round 24! We are in the final 3 rounds, and unfortunately, you're led tonight by Tarantosaurus (yay!) so sit back, and relax, as I take you through a thriller of a clash, between the Eels and the Titans.
