In a nail-biting showdown on Easter Monday, the Wests Tigers clinched a heart-stopping 17-16 victory over the Eels thanks to an Aidan Sezer field goal that sealed the deal.
It was a game of inches, with the visitors holding onto a slim lead as the clock wound down, only for a crucial offside penalty to set the stage for a dramatic finish.
The Eels had one last chance to snatch the win, but Clint Gutherson's long-range attempt drifted wide, sending Benji Marshall and his team into a wild celebration.
This hard-fought win marked the first time the Wests Tigers have strung together consecutive victories since Round 10 of last year, a milestone that highlights the team's growing momentum.
The victory was built on a solid defensive effort that saw Parramatta controlling over half of the possession, while rookie Lachie Galvin's sin-binning added an extra layer of drama to the proceedings.
Galvin made a dazzling impact early on, showcasing his skills with a perfectly executed grubber kick that set up a try for Justin Olam on the left flank.
Despite Parramatta's efforts, including a near-miss from Morgan Harper that was ruled out for a foot in touch, it was the Wests Tigers who ultimately emerged victorious in this thrilling clash.
This win will surely serve as a confidence booster for Marshall and his squad as they look to build on this success in the rounds to come.
