The Eels are gearing up for another formidable challenge this week as they prepare to face the undefeated Roosters. After a tough loss to the Broncos, where they battled hard in the first half but ultimately succumbed 38-4, they need to regroup and refocus.
In their match against Brisbane, Parramatta struggled with possession, managing only 45 percent, which contributed to their defeat. Now, they confront an even tougher opponent in the Roosters, who are currently on a winning streak and recently defeated a strong Knights team 30-14.
The Roosters' convincing victory, bolstered by a double from Tarryn Aiken, is a testament to their formidable form, especially since they achieved this despite a completion rate of only 60 percent. This serves as a warning to other teams, particularly if they manage to improve their execution.
Nevertheless, the Eels have demonstrated commendable spirit throughout the season, boasting a variety of talented players. They are determined to give their all and aim for an upset against a top-ranked team.
