Sunday, August 2, 2.00 PM, Round 12, ANZ Stadium, Sydney, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs take on Parramatta Eels NRL Match Preview
Recently the Eels took care of business against the Wests Tigers who threw everything they had at the Eels and yet still fell very short of a win, Eels have been very consistent this season with a mega win rate of 83%, nothing changes as they enter into a new battle with the reformed Bulldogs who are coming off a good win against the Newcastle Knights, the Bulldogs have a very competitive record against the Eels so expect the Bulldogs to turn up and play.
