PARRAMATTA EELS v ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA DRAGONS
An all Sydney clash for a Friday night, which will be the Dragons coach’s last in charge. Hopefully the Eels have dried out after last Sunday’s big wet. Although, being Eels you think they’d like the wet.
QUICK MATCH FACTS
- Parramatta have won the only clash between these sides at Bankwest Stadium. St George Illawarra have also failed to beat any team in their other two clashes for a 0 from 3 record at the new ground.
- Even worse, going back to 2011, the Dragons have not won any of eight at Parramatta’s two grounds.
- The Dragons have also lost five in a row on a Friday night. Going back to 2011 they have won just 26% of their games on a Friday.
- Parramatta have won five of their last six Friday clashes.
- Hard to take the Dragons based on either current form or the recent head to head that favours Parramatta 7-1 since 2015.
- The 11.5 start might be worth considering. If you exclude Parramatta’s 42-4 thrashing of the hapless Cowboys recently, the average winning margin in Eels games is just 4.2 points.
- Parramatta win a lot of second halves, and their scoring rate is much higher in the second half, so look around highest scoring half bets or second half winners for the Eels.
- Parramatta have scored first on nine occasions this season compared to the Dragons five and interestingly enough, no wingers have scored first for the Eels. And only once for the Dragons.
- A suggestion is going with one of the Eels halves for the first try. Dylan Brown is the tip.
- 50-50 call for the last try scorer. Matt Dufty failing to see Mikaele Ravalawa in the dying minutes last weekend spoiled our $476 multi tip, and the Dragons winger is worth another shot.
THE FINAL SAY SAME GAME MULTI
Parramatta to win
Dragons +11.5 start
Dylan Brown to score anytime
Mikaele Ravalawa last tryscorer
