Eels vs Dragons - NRL Tips

The Eels remain just one of two teams to have not recorded a win in 2025 but they look a great bet to get it done against a Dragons team off a monster win.

Best Bet

Parramatta +4.5
Line

Parramatta are winless this season and without question the worst team in the competition through the opening month but they look amongst the best bets of Round 5 getting more than a converted try at home against the pre-season wooden spoon favourites.

Home underdogs of at least a try cover at 63% in Rounds 5-8 with home underdogs of any number covering at 60%.

Desperation is a strong motivator and no team is more desperate than the Eels.

This is a pretty handy spot for the precariously-placed Parramatta side too.

They have won the last three against the Dragons while they have covered seven of 10.

The Eels are 5-2 ATS off a loss while they have covered three of four at CommBank.

The Dragons have covered just two of their last 10 off a victory while they are 2-6 ATS when favoured away from Wollongong and Kogarah.

The Eels are a great value play at the line, head-to-head and 13-plus.

Josh Addo-Carr Try/Christian Tuipulotu Try
Same Game Multi

Josh Addo-Carr is one of the great tryscorers with 141 tries in 181 games.

Christian Tuipulotu has been sensational in finding the tryline with 12 tries in his last 11 games.


Value Bet

Shaun Lane
To Score A Try

Shaun Lane scored his first try of the season against Manly last week and he scored in his last clash with the Dragons in Round 26 last season. Lane runs strong lines. He is a very big price against a questionable Dragons team.
