This game will be a great test to see if the Eels can win a couple of games in a row after a wlwlwl run of late.
pRicky's boys are vying for four wins straight and it will take a solid, 80 minute performance for the eels to win. We beat the Raiders in Canberra last year and how sweet victory in this game tastes, especially against the most despised man to have ever worked for Parramatta.
We see Waqa back on the wing and Niukore return. Two massive ins and hopefully Blake can prevent some of those aerial kicks resulting in tries and Marata can stiffen up that middle third and hit some edges in attack.
I really, extremely dislike everything about the Raiders and us winning this game would be great, but only just eclipsing the Raiders losing. Come on boys, get the win so we can all piss ourselves laughing at pRicky's presser!
So, who wins and by what margin?
MOM?
GO YOU EELS!!!

Snottie already posted the mandatory weekly JA blog, are you extending it to the game day blog? Move on man and enjoy the game this arvo. You might get a glimpse of JA in his truckies on the sidelines.
Eels to win by a couple - MOM DBrown
Truckies?
That explains a lot actually, not that there's anything wrong with truckies. If it wasn't for truckies I wouldn't have a sex life. They're out on the road delivering their load whilst I'm with their wives delivering mine 😜
What are they bring out a list of immortals who are shit?
Very interesting to see if Ricky goes with that bench. 2 middles, a hooker and a winger. We've gone full power with 3 bona fide middles and Matto who can be on an edge or middle.
Me thinks this will be the game of the round, fiery low scoring and tough for most of the match. If we kick and complete well then we can get them in the last 20

Some players will be out to impress hoping to secure a SOO spot which should be motivation for some. Canberra will be motivated chasing 4th win which is a fair achievement in itself. Also every player no matter how good or average has had to warm a bench first. Every team evolves.
