Parramatta returned to its winning ways this weekend as they ran out 41 to 26 victors over the Newtown Jets at Parramatta stadium to finish off the Round 14 VB Premier League action.
The win now sees the Eel’s four points clear of the newly formed grid lock for second place, with the Sharks, Raiders, Cougars and Dragons all locked on 16 points, and the Tigers, Sea Eagles and Jets just sitting one point behind that group.
Only seven points separate second to eleventh in what has so far been one of the closest VB Premier League seasons on record. With the exception of the Bulldogs and Wests, every team is well placed to make the finals.
