Hardest team to predict? NRL.com experts have their say Tanisha Stanton (NRL.com reporter) Eels. There is so much expectation this season with the inclusion of Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Ryan Matterson and the form we saw last season from Mitchell Moses. In the past when the side has had high expectations placed on them and they haven't been able to handle that. Will things change? Game day!!! The janitor has polished his new mop for the year and is looking forward to tonight's mess that he'll have to clean up cause the Eels will struggle. I would sack the mop man on the spot if the Eels lose tonight. I'm tipping Eels by 8. Tanisha Stanton (NRL reporter) - I think she's written off the Eels.  |

Not a convincing win. Eels didn't concede any tries, but the Bulldogs had nothing in attack which went a long way in winning that game. Bulldogs were solid in defence and very committed, but the Eels will have to do better with options in attack. Quiet game from the Eels halves.
The game was a sell-out, but only half the crowd turned up because of the coronavirus.

Scrappy Eels sneak past Bulldogs in season opener
Parramatta's current cohort have been hailed as likely as any to end the club's 34-year premiership drought, and they've started with an Eighties-esque 8-2 grinding down of arch-rivals Canterbury.
On a night of coronavirus contingencies, concussion drama and sex scandal fallout, the Eels and Bulldogs gave a nod to their famed grand final bouts of yesteryear with bruising defence and a try-less first half.
The comparisons to Parramatta's golden age ended there as errors and infringements dominated.
But their 2020 season kicks off with two points nonetheless.
It took Parramatta over an hour to register a four-pointer, and even then it came in fumbled fashion when Lachlan Lewis couldn't defuse a Mitch Moses grubber.
Scrambling on to the 65th minute loose ball was former Canterbury junior Reed Mahoney – cut loose from Belmore and first signed by the Eels on a $6000 deal – for the defining try of the game by default.
Heavy hits provided the thrills and spills where any great attacking passages did not.
Shots from Eels big men Nathan Brown and Shaun Lane were answered in kind by Bulldogs Adam Elliott and Renouf To'omaga.
Meanwhile speedsters on both sides also made several desperate cover tackles out wide, Michael Jennings and Will Hopoate waging their own entertaining war.
The Bulldogs gutsed and ground their way through the contest after a week from hell, losing another sponsor in MPA just hours before kick-off as a result of allegations from their pre-season trip to Port Macquarie.
Their 1988-premiership winning coach Phil Gould had warned the drama could derail Canterbury's campaign before it even started.
But the defensive commitment of Dean Pay's men at least spoke of a side desperate to keep the issue on the sidelines.
They did so in front of a 21,363-Bankwest Stadium crowd impacted by growing coronavirus fears.
Winger Christian Crichton could face a judiciary-imposed isolation next weekend himself after landing on report for an ugly shoulder to the head of Maika Sivo.
The Parramatta powerhouse looked rattled by the shot but was cleared of a HIA by the club's trainer and stayed on the field for the duration.
However an NRL spokesperson confirmed that connection issues meant the usual sideline surveillance of such incidents was not available to NRL medicos.
A penalty goal each was all either side had to show for their efforts in the first half, with six errors in the Eels' first 10 sets cruelling them of any fluency in attack.
The first captain's challenge of the NRL season went the same way, Parramatta wasting it by contesting a blatant knock-on from Reagan Campbell-Gillard. Canterbury similarly botched their challenge early in the second stanza.
An hour later Mahoney's try was all that separated the fierce rivals.
The Bulldogs stayed in it right until the final minutes but their last attacking foray – ended by a misdirected early kick in the tackle count from Lewis – went the same as all the rest.
Parramatta's defence held strong and the Dogs were held at bay.

all I can say is crap game, there offense sucked and the dogs could not score because they had nothing to throw at the Eels, so couldnt even get a try against lousy defense. The janitor is a pathetic joke when he talks, should keep his mouth shut. All up highly unimpressed. Good that it was a win though.

Eels v Titans, Sunday week and will most likely be played in an empty stadium, because ScoMo has advised no more than 500 people to any event, because of the coronavirus. An away game for the Eels and zero supporters, a guaranteed loss!! Titans by 10? |

Titans by 20 Everything ScoMo does is wrong. Now he's interfering with football. Titans offered nothing against the Raiders losing 24-6. Eels should win this game next weekend, if not they're an embarrassment losing to a club that claimed they would win a premiership by 2025, but have finished at the bottom of the table the last five years. |

There has been talk that if you have been tested positive, the cops may knock on your door from time to time to make sure you're at home and not outside spreading the virus. Round two to continue with suspension of season deemed 'catastrophic'
ARLC chairman Peter V’landys announces round two matches will be played despite the threat of coronavirus. V’landys says it would be ‘catastrophic’ if the 2020 season was suspended.I like all the conspiracy theories going around - - China is blaming America for the virus. The military games were in China last year in October. - Climate activists brought this about to bring the world to a standstill. - Mother nature is fighting back. |

my friends from Australia that are here now, when they get back there will have to be locked up for 2 weeks. I saw your PM on TV yesterday he seems like an asshole. Then again most politicians are.
Where are the Warriors going to be based?
We are getting exactly the same theories about that virus here.

Where are the Warriors going to be based? We are getting exactly the same theories about that virus here. ScoMo is the worst leader this country has ever had and at the most inconvenient time with bush fires and this virus. This guy is a mock and Australia will probably also experience the apocalypse thanks to him. I don't know about the Warriors. There is talk about shortening the season where the Eels will play every team once. The toilet bowl cleaner was never going to win anyway, the disastrous ending just came early with the virus. |

do you honestly thing that deadbeat moron Trump is any better?
If they do shorten the season whoever wins it would be a pretty hollow win quite frankly.
