Parramatta Eels versus Melbourne Storm Round 1, Thursday 2nd of March! 8:00pm kick-off.

THE GIST

The Parramatta Eels will host the Melbourne Storm in the first NRL return game for National Rugby League in 2023; it really doesn’t get more competitive than between these two, with the Melbourne Storm just having a slight edge and winning most clashes against the Eels fifty-seven per cent of the time, This clash sets to be a blockbuster with lots of new faces in both sides.

-> THE HISTORY

Since 1998, the Eels have played the Melbourne Storm in forty-two games but have only been successful fifty-seven per cent of the head-to-head clashes; out of the last five home Eels clashes against the Storm, the Eels have won the last three out of five, the last time these two teams clashed the Parramatta Eels won 22-14.

-> TRIAL FORM

The Melbourne Storm finished seventh, and the Parramatta Eels finished eighth, with little difference in attack and defence.

-> POINT SCORING

There was little difference in the Telstra Premiership round 25, 2022, season between these two sides in points for and against.

-> DEFENSE

There was little difference in the Telstra Premiership round 25, 2022, season between these two sides in points for and against.

The Conclusion

The Parramatta Eels and the Melbourne Storm like to start the year with a first-round win; since 2019, both teams have won every round one clash, which suggests some early fireworks and razzle-dazzle rugby league. We are simply leaning towards history and the Melbourne Storm. The Storm hasn’t lost a first-round clash since 2003.
