Parramatta caused a massive upset on Sunday as their attack finally clicked and they cruised to a massive 44-10 victory over the Manly Sea Eagles.

Mitchell Moses and Corey Norman led the way in the halves, with Daniel Alvaro laying the platform up front in a spectacular effort by the blue and gold.

Their first win of 2018 was bittersweet however, with Jarryd Hayne on the sidelines for at least a month with a hip injury.

For their part, Wests Tigers suffered a loss in Tamworth, as Kalyn Ponga helped the Knights to a 22-20 victory at Scully Park. However, they remain one of the best teams in the competition, following some impressive showings against quality opposition.

The Eels and Tigers have played in 35 fixtures since the turn of the century, Parramatta winning 20 of those games. The last time the two sides met came in Round 4, when the joint venture came up with the chocolates in a 30-20 romp on Easter Monday.

Prediction
Ivan Cleary’s boys will continue their strong early-season form with a big win.

Wests Tigers by 14.
