Parra are our bitches especially in Newcastle.

Knights by 10

 

[Rodney Rude]

A rare away game for Parramatta.

Knights to get the win at home on the back of an early ambush

 

[The_Frog]

Knights will have to play much, much better than they did today to get within 30 of this mob. Maybe the strange surroundings will disorient them.

 

[GongPanther]

Knights, if they have Ponga fit, will get a good win here which promises to be a cracker. 22-20 to the Knights after being behind by 10 at the break.

Don’t think we have won up there since 2009. They should be pumped up after a tough win against the high flying Manly. Eels have no hope Knights 13+

 

[Silent Knight]

Parra are a huge step up from Moanly. All the Eels have to do is shut down Ponga and contain Klemmer and the Saifitis. We don’t have much else going for us. We’ll be lucky to get within 20 of the mighty juggernaut that is the Parramatta Eels in 2020.

 

[Haffa]

Parra by as many as they want.

 

[NewySteel]

Eels 50-4. We should be stoked just to share the field with such a phenomenal team. King gutho to bag a coupla tries and earn his rightful place as NSW fullback, captain and coach.

 

[Apey]

We'll never be in the game if we dish up similar attack again. Eels 1 - 12 I think.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

The high flying, untouchable Eels to get another amazing win. Look a better side without Moses. Everything going their way. A bunch of battlers like Newcastle will be lucky to get within 30 of the form team in the comp.

Huge expectations on Parra.

 

[Tommy Smith]

What's happened to Ponga? He's turned into a Milfordesque plodder.

And Pearce is the same player he's always been.

Eels by 20.

 

[Bazal]

Knights by 10

There's no Danny Levi to play his yearly one game where he looks like a superstar against Parramatta.... So I expect to only win by as many years as its been since we won at Newy (143)

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Drugcastle won’t know what hit them when they get pumped by the Eels.

Just to confirm it was a Sivo Sledgehammer that pulverised them.

 

[pantherz9103]

Parra look better and should win but the Knights tend to own them in Newcastle. If the Eels can overcome that hoodoo then it will be another sign of how far they've come in 2020.

 

[perverse]

As much as we're in 4th, only our defence is top 4 quality - and not every week. The Eels will give us a touch up if we're not at our best.

 

[Glenn]

Fully expect Newcastle to win , after all North Queensland out played Newcastle, then Parramatta outplayed North Queensland, so all points to a Newcastle Win.

I fully expect Wazn to win the Everest, Caulfield and Melbourne Cups this year while infected with Covid19.

Bzzzzzt. Incorrect. The Eels won up there in 2016 (20-18) and 2015 (28-22).

Ok so Knights only 10+ Then
