The Parramatta Eels needed more than just a bounce back effort after slumping to a disconsolate 20-16 loss the Rabbitohs last week and they did exactly that in Round 25 after BLUDGEONING the Sydney Roosters by 20-points.

Where do you even begin to unwrap that pair of results? The NRL won and the NRLW loss but there was so much chaos in between as the both games went down to the wire.

After copping weeks of brutal Match Review Committee decisions that left Dylan Brown, Ryley Smith, Will Penisini and Kelma Tuilagi sidelined for a collective 9 games, the MRC has found a way to outdo itself after slapping Izack Tago with an embarrassingly weak 1 game suspension for a hip drop tackle that has rubbed Kitione Kautoga out for 8 weeks.

A plucky first half effort from the Eels gave way to a fragmented second stanza as Parramatta fell to the Panthers in Round 19.
