I am certainly not weighing in too much that the Eels were better last week against Canterbury, but there was some improvement. Add in the turmoil week for the Sea Eagles with all of the Cherry-Evans drama and the Eels could benefit from that.
The danger is that Manly have been clinical when playing at home, but the Eels haven’t been that bad in every other statistic besides linebreaks and inside 20m conversions. Three converted tries is a big line and Parra can cover if they play the type of defence they did in the second half against Canterbury last weekend. If so, the game will stay under the huge total of 54.5 points.
Reuben Garrick picked up 4 tries last week against the Raiders and crossed in both games against Parramatta last season. Anytime try scorer pick complete.

The difference between Manly at Brookvale and Manly on the road is like night and day. In theri wins against North Queensland and Canberra at Four Pines Park, they have put on 40+ points in both and given up just 12 points to their opponents. Against the Warriors in New Zealand it was the opposite, a 36-16 loss.
Unfortunately, this week has all been about the Cherry-Evans drama and how the team performs with this negative publicity will play a big part in the result on Sunday.
At Brookvale, Manly’s attack has been unstoppable, as it was last season. They have racked up 16 linebreaks in 2 games at home this season and also run for 985 more metres than their opposition in total.

| 0-3 | 1-2 | 1-2 |
Parramatta have been doing it tough with a 0-3 start to the season and a -72 points differential.
They copped a couple of hidings against Melbourne and Wests but they have to take the positives out of a much better performance against Canterbury last week, going down 16-8.
The injury to Mitch Moses is killing them. Compare the key stats in their last two matches and you could easily believe that the Eels could have taken two wins, they simply lack the playmaking ability to score tries.
The Eels had 41 tackles in Wests 20m zone two matches ago and had just as many against Canterbury last weekend. Run Metres are fairly equal in both matches while the Eels have had the better of the territory in each of their last two games.
