Parramatta -10 v Gold Coast ($1.90)
The likely absence of AJ Brimson makes this a one-sided affair. It is hard to see the Titans winning with a near unrecognisable spine. The Eels do one thing well and that is beat up on teams they should. This is a game they should be beating up on their opposition. The Eels have certainly done that in recent years with five straight wins over the Titans by 16-plus points. The Titans have not topped 12 points in their last five against the Eels. Parra are at their best when heavily favoured and this line has gone from 4.5 to 10.
