The Titans get plenty of big names back this week while the Eels have thrown the towel in for 2024, missing their star half and getting little help from the coaching staff.
Best Bet
This could get extremely ugly for Parramatta, who appear to have given up on the season and enter this without star half Mitchell Moses and key prop Junior Paulo.
Trent Barrett is 13-50 in his last 63 games as a head coach and the Eels have covered just one of their last 13 road games.
All the while, the stars are returning for the Titans.
Jayden Campbell, AJ Brimson and Phillip Sami all seem likely to play, adding some firepower to a team that put 66 on the Warriors three weeks back and then shocked Cronulla last week.
Gold Coast have covered four of their last five at home and four of their last five off conceding 16 or fewer.
Chips in the Titans minus and look for extended minuses too.

Same Game Multi
Khan-Perieira is an elite tryscorer with 34 tries in 35 games and could not get a better matchup than playing on a second-gamer.
Fermor is a very good tryscoring option for a backrower who has the potential to play in the centres as named with 22 tries in 61 games.
Sami likely starts if healthy and he has four tries in his last four games against Parramatta.
Value Bet
Chris Randall has found himself in rare tryscoring form of late and with an ability to hit the line at more speed from lock he looks a good bet to continue it. He has three tries in his last five games and most notably has five tries in his eight starts when not starting at hooker.
