Parramatta Eels v Gold Coast Titans
Saturday, August 4, 5:30pm
ANZ Stadium, Sydney


This shapes up as a must-win clash for the Eels if they want to avoid the wooden spoon, with matches against the Dragons, Storm and Roosters still to come. They’ll be disappointed that they blew an 18-6 halftime lead against the Rabbitohs last week, but the signs were promising leading into this clash with the Titans. Meanwhile, the Titans enter this off their most impressive performance of the season, a 36-12 win over the Warriors. Can they bring that form to Sydney?
Recent FormParramatta sit last on the ladder with a 4-15 record. They have the worst attack in the NRL while they rank 12th defensively. The Eels gave won just two of their last 11. Parramatta have surpassed 20 points just once since Round 8. Gold Coast are 12th on the ladder with a 7-12 record. The Titans have the second worst defence in the premiership while they rate 10th in scoring. Gold Coast are 5-2 against teams outside the Top 8.
