Looking at the teams and ability
the dragons will be too strong

 

[to_ddeath]

Saints by 1 in extra time. To avenge for last years R1 loss...

 

[Big Pete]

Dragons to exact revenge and the Eels to get off to a slow start.

Dragons by 16 in a anti-climatic encounter.

MOM Soward

 

[Truthy746]

A clash between what can easily be described as the two teams that would've won the competition if it wasn't for a team called the Melbourne Storm. As Big Pete said, I can't see this match living up to the hype though. It will be a feeling out process for each club at the beginning of the season, seeing how they handle equally strong competition. I'm going to tip Parramatta here due to the home ground advantage, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a Dragons victory at all.

 

[natheel]

Parramatta 17 vs Dragons 12

going to be a good game

 

[dragonsman4eva]

dragons 28 eels 14

dragons to be too strong. eels will be a good oppisition but need at least 4 rounds to gel where as the dragons pretty much have the same team as last year.

cooper to have a big match.

1st try scorer: morris

last try scorer: soward

mom: cooper

 

[caspersparks]

dragons - 14
eels - 12

eels score with 3 mins to go, but a saints penalty 2 pointer scored in the first 20 mins will be the difference

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Im pretty confident neither side will come out all guns blazing.
