THE PREDICTION
Parramatta Eels failed to give a good account of themselves as they were well-beaten by Penrith Panthers last week and must now attempt to make it to the Grand Final the tough way. The Eels struggled to create opportunities with the ball and must produce a hugely improved performance if they are to bounce back and remain in the competition. They face a buoyant Canberra Raiders outfit who arrive on the back of an excellent effort to end Melbourne Storm’s season which was their fifth victory in succession. The Raiders will be full of confidence having timed their run to the finals perfectly and while the Eels start as favourites having won six of their last eight on home soil, the road team’s recent run of form and performances cannot be ignored so they are favoured with the aid of a +8.5 start on the handicap.
