Banking on home wins

- EELS DRAGONS 32 18

PARRAMATTA have made it two from two at their new home after producing an entertaini­ng 32-18 NRL comeback victory over the Dragons.

Two weeks after celebratin­g their debut at Bankwest Stadium with a 50-point thumping of the Wests Tigers, the Eels hosted another party.

Down 14-0 after 30 minutes, Reed Mahoney started the fightback when he jumped over from close range just before halftime.

And the home side continued their push after the break, with Clint Gutherson and Maika Sivo scoring long-range tries within four minutes.

Not even a Mikaele Ravalawa try could halt the Eels’ momentum. Mitchell Moses reclaimed the lead with a penalty goal, before having a hand in tries for Blake Ferguson and another for Sivo in the final quarter of the game.
