Parramatta Eels vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview

Round 16 launches in Parramatta on Thursday night with an intriguing contest between the Eels and the Rabbitohs.

The Eels enter this match off the back of one of, if not their most important win of the season.

Somehow though, they still don’t really feel like a real premiership threat to me.

They beat the Storm, and all you can really do it play what’s put in front of you, but they were at full strength and really couldn’t put away what was essentially a ‘B’ team.

Other than the Panthers in a couple of weeks, they have an easy run home and will almost certainly finish in the top four.

Souths also don’t look to be a premiership threat, and they are probably only still in the top eight because a lot of the other clubs around the middle have been just a little bit worse.

They have won each of their last four matches though and will be quietly confident again after absolutely dismantling Manly in Round 15.

All of that being said, the line is set at just six points, and I think that Parramatta are more than that margin better than South Sydney.
