Eels a sorry ladder sight

THEY are Parramatta’s fierce western Sydney rivals who have now book-ended the Eels worst start to a footy season in 27 years.

Penrith yesterday piled further misery on an underpressure Eels with a gritty 12-6 win – the same result as their Round 1 match at Penrith Stadium on March 11.

That’s two wins over Parramatta in 28 days.

Penrith started Parramatta’s misery this season – and continued it yesterday. The Panthers must be purring.

Defeat has Parramatta 0-5 – their worst start since 1991.
