Parramatta were humiliated in Round 1 against Melbourne but that puts them in good shape to get the job done against the Wests Tigers.
Best Bet
The Eels are one of the best bets of the week as they look to bounce back from their annihilation at the hands of the Storm.
Home underdogs cover at 59% in Rounds 1-4 but this Eels bet is more about teams bouncing back off poor defensive showings.
Teams off conceding 50-plus cover at 72% in the opening four rounds of the season while home underdogs off conceding 50 or more are 28-8 ATS since 2008. The Eels are a perfect 7-0 ATS in the spot.
The Tigers were arguably better than the Knights in Round 1 but failed to get the win as their attack stuttered. They get back Jahream Bula and Api Koroisau but still have to prove that they can get the job done.
With the Tigers 3-7 ATS when under $2, the Eels can be bet with confidence.
Same Game Multi
Isaiah Iongi was very good in his debut for the Eels and scored the final try of the match against the Storm.
Will Penisini has improved his tryscoring no end with tries in four straight games and nine tries in his last 14 matches.
Value Bet
Shaun Lane is a quality edge runner and comes off a season scoring four tries. He has score three tries against the Tigers – his third best record against an individual club. He can hit the Tigers right edge where they are vulnerable.
