3: Parramatta Eels
I have picked the Eels to finish in the top four for the past two seasons and Iโm sticking with that trend. The Eels have one of the best rosters in the game and have a settled spine that consists of Clint Gutherson, Dylan Brown, Mitchell Moses, and Reed Mahoney. The four have played more than enough games to finally take this Eels’ team further into the finals. They will need to find the balance in attack and defense as in the beginning of last season, when their attack was flawless, but they struggled further into the season. They have recruited well going into this season and boast a top five forward pack. Surely the Eels can get out of week two of the finals this year?
