THE PREDICTION
Parramatta Eels are heavily favoured to get the win against North Queensland Cowboys but they will have to halt a four-match losing streak. The manner of their last three losses will be particularly concerning having lost 28-0, 40-12 and 56-10 in three miserable defeats. The quality of opponent was evident however and that should not be the case here as they face a struggling Cowboys team. The visitors have lost their last nine games in the NRL as their season peters out badly and it is hard to make a case of them with motivation low and form poor. Expect the Eels to bounce back and pick up a comfortable victory.
