Parramatta Eels vs Brisbane Broncos Preview

The Eels and the Broncos will meet in Darwin on Friday night following a thrilling opening round encounter to begin the season.

Parramatta overcame a large first-half deficit to win by eight, a performance Brad Arthur will be hoping his side can learn from as the Eels look to further cement their spot in the top four.

Similar to Round 1, Brisbane put a first half scare into the Panthers last week before failing to score a single point in the final 40 minutes.

There have been some strong signs of improvement under new coach Kevin Walters, but the fact Brisbane hasn’t won a game on the road since Round 1 last year is obviously a huge sign for concern.

On the injury front, the Broncos could potentially see Jesse Arthars and Herbie Farnworth back into the side, while the Eels will also welcome back three of their key playmakers in Ryan Matterson, Dylan Brown and Waqa Blake.

The Eels have struggled to string together two consistent halves dating back to last season, but it’s very difficult to get on board with a Broncos upset based on Brisbane’s own struggles in the second half.

Having lost each of their last five road games by double digits, this shapes up as another tough week for the Baby Broncs.
