Saturday, 21st of August, 7:35 pm, NRL Round 23, Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast, Eels vs Cowboys NRL Match Fixture
The Eels copped a belting at the hands of Manly last week, relinquishing their top 4 to the Roosters, while the Cowboys put in a dismal performance against the Tigers. After losing their last four games on the trot, Parramatta needs a big win to get some confidence back heading into the NRL finals, and with North Queensland in danger of slipping below arch-rivals the Broncos on the ladder, they will be doing everything they can to avoid their 10th loss in a row.
