The two teams that scrapped it out in the Wooden Spoon Bowl last season will clash again and history says it is going to be a close one. The last two matches between these two at Commbank stadium have gone down to the wire and the 2025 clash is expected to produce much the same.
If any team jumps away, it will be Wests, who will see the return of some of their key attackers, none more crucial to the future at the club than Jahream Bula, who will play his first match for the Tigers this season.
Bula crossed last season at Commbank against the Eels and his electricity at the back and his ability to link up with Jarome Luai will be a threat to the Eels line.

This looks like it is going to be another long one for the Parramatta Eels after going down 56-18 to last year’s Minor Premiers the Melbourne Storm in Round 1.
The eels took an absolute shilacking with Melbourne stepping off the gas after leading 46-6 at halftime. I don’t think I have ever seen that sort of halftime score line in my 40 years on this earth.
The Eels got outmuscled in the middle and didn’t have the creativity at the back to service their stars like Zac Lomax. Melbourne ran for 500m metres more than the Eels with 9 linebreaks to 3.

The Tigers were a whisker away from a Round 1 upset against the Knights, losing to Newcastle 10-8 after leading 8-0 at halftime.
There were plenty of positives to take out of the game for the three-time Wooden Spooners and none more than the fact that they held Newcastle to just two tries with all of the attacking power they have.
With the injection of Jahream Bula, Staford To’a and Jarome Luai’s former Penrith teammate and captain of Wests Api Koroisau returning, we should see more attack coming out of the Tigers this weekend.
