Parramatta Eels v Wests Tigers
Sunday, April 29, 4:10pm (AEST)
ANZ Stadium, Sydney


You would expect a few smiles at Eels training this week after they recorded their first win of the season with a 44-10 demolition of the Sea Eagles. They got one back on the Sea Eagles after they were hammered 54-0 by Manly at Brookvale. The Eels will be looking to do the same against the Tigers after the Tigers defeated the Eels 30-20 on Easter Monday earlier this month. Bevan French replaces the injured Jarryd Hayne, while Tigers co-captain Chris Lawrence returns for Wests.
FormParramatta’s winless start to the season ended at six after a devastating 44-10 revenge win over Manly. The Eels remain last with the worst attack and the 11th ranked defence. The Wests Tigers remain fourth with a 5-2 record despite losing on the bell to Newcastle in Tamworth. The Tigers have the second best defence but rank a lowly 10th in scoring. 
Key MatchupMitchell Moses v Luke Brooks: Mitchell Moses bounced back to form with a man of the match performance in the big win over the Sea Eagles. Moses had four try-assists and kicked eight goals in the 34-point win. He would love to replicate the performance against his former club and great mate Luke Brooks. The Tigers halfback is in career best form and has 10 Dally M votes to his name through seven rounds. The Eels will need to shake his confidence by hitting him hard when he takes on the line.
