I don't know how many fo you watched the Eels last week but that game was unbelievible as it was just played so fast it was freaky,the Eels have been involed in a couple of very fast games this season and although their supportters must be geting frustrated at their lack of success you have to admit that sooner or latter that will come to an end and i'm picking it will be this weeks match against the Eagles when they will fianlly go on to win a game at home after 2 losses at home this season.

The Eels although being beaten are showing that they can score points which is something the Eagles are struggling to do,Parra have some problems with the likes of Riddel missing and Smith taking a break but I beleive that they are not far off putting together a complete performance and it could be tonight against the Eagles I think,they switch Mateo back to stand off which worked well for them in round one against the Bulldogs and could well be the difference in this match tonight.

Manly did'nt play as badly as their scoreline might have suggeated last week in that match against Melbourne but the Storm really did get the rub of the green in some of the decisions that were made in that first half imparticular,but really the Eagles even when in scoring position could'nt get the job done and that has been a massive problem in their matches this season and even with Lyon out wide and Menzies in at stand off it does'nt improve their attacking options that much anyway,this week they will be without Watmough which is a huge loss for them as he is their most preductive forward and without him i can't see any other player for Manly taking the slack as he does,he is a massive loss for them,the other thing that is not good for them is that they are the most penalised team in the NRL and without Watmough i think that will become even worse as he takes care of alot of one on one tackles and that is where the Eagles are giving away penaltys from holding down in their tackles.

H2H and the Eagle shave won the last two matches between these two clubs including the last match here at Parramatta Stadium.

I think the loss of Watmough is massive and could cost the Eagles here tonight,the Eels while niot winning have shown they can pick their game up to play at great levels and if they can play that way against this Eagels side minus their best forward and meter eater then they could well explode tonight and in truth thats what i'm expecting,the Eels are lsoing but are playing well enough to win their games but are just not getting it done,I think that will change this week and I expect the Eels to win this one and win it well....Good Luck.
