It's Game Day!!!
The Eels head to the Gold Coast and look to make it three in a row and pull ahead in their overall record against the Titans.
Since the two sides met in Round One, the Eels have only lost one match and now sit in the top four while the Titans have a 2-2 record putting them in 9th.
Parramatta will be looking to build on their thrashing of St George in Round 4, with the Titans only just beating the Tigers on the buzzer in a terrible match last Thursday.
Former Titan Mitch Rein is set to make his Eels debut from the bench having been in stellar form in Parramatta's reserve grade in recent weeks. Last week against the Dragons he provided three try assists and stole a short range try for himself.
The forecast is for 22 degrees and cloudy at kick off with a low chance of rain but high humidity. It should be a fast track at Cbus Stadium.
Prediction: Eels 24, Titans 10

I'm going for an Eels victory. Eels 34 vs Titans 14. I'm hoping it's not raining and the referees are 50/50 in their calls. Titans will be desperate for a win but the Eels really need to dominate from the start and not allow the Titans in the game.
Sunny here atm.
Doubt it will be raining, possibly a shower.

*Pretty poor game day blog, not one joke.
Did you have some material prepared Grunts? I'd still like to hear it
I did but the baton is firmly in Thoopereels hands now and he has the sense of humour of a German shepherd.
Mate, it wasn't up before midday. I know you fellas in Queensland are a little slow but come on.
Was expecting a Grunta classic for today. I suppose there's nothing like a bit of competition. GRUNTS snooze you lose. Here are Tyson Fury's winning secrets.

It's been raining all morning here
Nah, haven't done them this year.
I may throw the odd one up.
My daughter made the observation that the Eels seem to play to the standard of the opposition and up until last week i would agree. We play at a higher level against the Storm and seem to drop our level against more average teams like the Titans. I am looking for us to be very disciplined in the first 30, very high completion rate, no stupid penalties and hopefully the forwards will have the Titans on the back foot and then MM & DB cut them up. Let's smash these jokers.
Eels 32 - Titans 6.
