Eels vs Tigers Head To Head
These two teams have split their last four meetings at two wins apiece, including one victory each in 2025.
Parramatta Eels Exposed Defensively
It's been an okay start to the season for Parramatta, but they've been exposed defensively by the elite sides.
The Eels opened the season by conceding 50 points to the Storm, but bounced back strongly to defeat reigning premiers Brisbane 42-30 in an entertaining clash.
Parramatta did enough to take down the Dragons 30-20, but were predictably no match for a rampant Panthers side last week, going down 48-20.
Jason Ryles' side were never in the hunt as they went down 18-0 after 14 minutes, but they did manage to become the first team to score 20 points against Penrith in 2026. If they could just get their defence right, the Eels would be on their way.

Wests Tigers Off To A Good Start
It's been a bright start to the season for the Tigers - but that was also the case last year before they faded mid-season, so it will be interesting to see what lessons they've learned over the last 12 months.
The loss of Jarome Luai seemed like a big blow, but Jock Madden and Adam Doueihi stepped up with a brilliant display in the halves to lead their side to a 32-14 victory over the Warriors last week.
The Tigers finished strongly with six of the last seven tries, while their outside backs dominated metres, with Luke Laulilii, Sunia Turuva and Jahream Bula ranking in the top three.
Kai Pearce-Paul continues to highlight why he was one of the most underrated off-season purchases, with the second-rower crossing for his third try in as many games.
