The Eels will feel like they owe the Dragons one after their 20-18 loss in Wollongong earlier in the season. Brad Arthur’s men looked to have the match in the bag, before the Dragons produced an unlikely victory. The Eels have shuffled their side around, with rookie Jaeman Salmon starting at five-eighth, with Corey Norman moving to fullback, Clint Gutherson to centre and Jarryd Hayne to the wing. The Dragons have lost enforcer Paul Vaughan for this clash due to an ankle injury which will keep him sidelined for the next four weeks.

Final ThoughtsThe Dragons are in a worrying form slump that doesn’t look like ending here. The Red V have lost four of their last five matches, and have lost six of their last seven matches against the Eels. Meanwhile, Parramatta have won two of their last three matches and could have very easily beaten the table-topping Rabbitohs in Round 20. The 6.5 start for the Eels looks like a great bet and is The Wolf’s best bet of the week.
