Parramatta have come off two very disappointing losses and coach Brad Arthur is now under pressure but this is a game they can get their season back on track in.
Best Bet
Parramatta have been incredibly disappointing the last two weeks since Mitchell Moses went down with an injury. A loss to the Tigers and a hammering at the hands of the Raiders has the club under the pump.
There are some good signs for this week though. Daejarn Asi is a proper half so fits better than Blaize Talagi. Bryce Cartwright also adds a little more creativity on the edge.
The Eels have played the Cowboys well with four wins in the last six meetings. It is notable that teams off conceding 38 or more points in Weeks 5-8 cover at 61%. The Eels have covered eight of 13 at CommBank.
This is an awful spot for the Cowboys too. They have covered just nine of 25 interstate including six of 18 interstate off a win. Interstate teams off a victory in the opening eight rounds of the season have covered just 37% of games the last four seasons.
Hoping the number gets to +4 but the Eels as an outsider is a good bet.
Same Game Multi
Kyle Feldt has 13 tries in 12 games against the Eels and has traditionally feasted against Parramatta.
Will Penisini has scored twice in five games against the Cowboys.
Value Bet
Daejarn Asi has never been a proven tryscorer at the top level but he has rarely ascended to the top grade in such good tryscoring form. Asi has scored three tries the last three weeks for a winless Eels NSW Cup team.
