Wests Tigers Form - 6 Game Losing Streak
Wests Tigers have lost six consecutive games and are coming off a humiliating 56-10 defeat against Canberra.
The Raiders scored five first-half tries and finished with 10 linebreaks while running for more than 600 additional metres. It was the third time this season that the Tigers had conceded at least 50 points.
The Tigers have now lost their last three games by a combined score of 120-16. They were held scoreless by Canterbury, managed only six points against the Warriors and struggled to create anything consistently against Canberra.
The Tigers rank 14th for points and run metres, 15th for linebreaks and last for points conceded.
Parramatta Eels Form - Eels Better Than Results
Parramatta have lost three of their last four matches, but their effort against Penrith last week was considerably better than their recent results suggest.
The Eels led 12-0 and forced the Panthers to fight their way back into the contest before eventually losing 24-18. Mitchell Moses controlled the opening stages well, while Jack Williams scored twice against the ladder leaders.
The return of Junior Paulo from a knee injury strengthens the interchange and should help Parramatta establish control through the middle.
Moses, Ronald Volkman and Isaiah Iongi then have the opportunity to attack a Tigers defensive line conceding an average of 30 points per game this season.
