Show Preview
Two top-four hopefuls go head-to-head as the Canberra Raiders take on the Parramatta Eels at GIO Stadium. Stay up to date with their NRL clash with live scores on The Roar from 7:35pm (AEST).
In what was potentially a reality check, the Raiders were no match for Penrith in their match last Friday night, going down 30-10. Their record of 3-2 at this stage of the season is probably fair, but they’d want to increase their tenuous-looking grip on a top eight spot and doing so against the Eels will be a challenge.
Things had been going swimmingly for Parramatta until last week’s shock loss to St George Illawarra. The defeat saw them slip from second on the NRL ladder to fifth and saw the membership on their bandwagon plummet. Tonight is a huge opportunity for the Eels to silence the doubters and remind the competition they’re a genuine chance.
Last year’s meeting between these sides was a cracker, with the Eels getting up 25-24 – their second straight win over the Raiders after dropping five in a row. Parramatta have an appalling record in Canberra, however, losing on their last nine visits in a streak dating back to 2006.
