Parramatta Eels face bigger issues than the absence of Mitch Moses as they suffer a heavy defeat against the Canberra Raiders. Despite Dylan Brown's efforts, the Eels struggled to match the Raiders' performance without their star No.7. Ill-discipline and missed tackles further contributed to their downfall. With a 7-2 penalty count against them, the Eels slip down to 14th place in the standings.
RAIDERS 41 EELS 8KEY POINTSSLIPPERY SLOPE FOR THE EELS : Parramatta have much bigger issues than no Mitch Moses , though they are missing their star No.7 like nothing else. Dylan Brown was all effort, especially with a couple of valiant try-saving attempts, but his kicking game was no match for Canberra in Moses’ absence and couldn’t keep the Eels in it. But it doesn’t matter who your halfback is when ill-discipline - a 7-2 penalty count against hurt - and the missed tackles stack up.
North Queensland , the Dolphins , Manly , a round nine bye, Broncos and Melbourne await.MATT’S ON THE MONEY: Canberra added another year to Matt Timoko’s deal late last week, keeping NRL rivals well away from the young Kiwi with an extension until the end of 2026. The deal has another two-year option to it as well and the club would love to lock it in right now after his impressive rise over the past 18 months.
