Up may be down and left looks a lot like right in season 2023 but for this week all is good after Parramatta Eels buried a 3-year hoodoo against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in a 36-18 epic. Down to 15-men just minutes into the second half, the Blue & Gold delivered a rousing team wide effort to storm home against the form team of the competition.

Sixties and Forty20 celebrate the surprise result with a gaggle of players delivering spectacularly for the Eels. Mitchell Moses and Dylan Brown were at the heart of the win but plenty of credit is given to a lion-hearted middle rotation who refused to bend or buckle under the pressure of injuries.
