The NRL draw for the 2024 season has sparked reactions from clubs, with Parramatta feeling hard done by once again.
The Eels have been handed a tough draw for the second year in a row, facing five teams coming off a bye week from the previous round.
This has left fans feeling disappointed, as the club will also play the top five teams from the 2023 season twice, while only playing two bottom-four clubs.
In contrast, Cronulla has emerged as a big winner, with eight games scheduled against last year's bottom four teams.
This discrepancy in the draw has left Parramatta feeling aggrieved, as they face a challenging road ahead in the upcoming season.
The club's tough start to the 2023 season, with three of their first five opponents coming off a bye round, has only added to the frustration for Eels fans.
