Five takeaways from tonight's games
- The NSW Blues look to have lost more today with Tom Trbojevic and Nathan Cleary out with hamstring injuries. Tommy Turbo faces eight weeks out, while Cleary's fate will be known in the coming days.
- The eels tried hard, but sometimes it's just not enough.
- The Bulldogs lost to Penrith, but their new found confidence will not have taken a hit.
- Penrith will be without Cleary again for a while, but lean against them at your peril.
- Pasta with a butter sauce, cracked pepper and parmesan cheese is a delicious option for dinner.

Bellamy to train Storm
The eel problems spread
The full-time hooter is four minutes away, but it's all over the eel. They tried hard, but those two long-range tries they conceded in the first half proved too much. They now have a 3-6 record. This is not how finals teams usually start their season. Mitchell Moses is expected to return next week, but with Melbourne to provide the opposition in Brisbane's Magic Round there could be more pain.
Haas pass finds grass
You must provide a post when a title like this appears. In all seriousness, the huge Brisbane prop came very close to scoring a try. Her sinuous career was the last thing you'd expect from an accessory. If his pass had been on the money, it would have been a stellar effort. Tonight's audience is 17,393 people. Brisbane led 30-14 in the 68th minute.
Video: The mastery of Walsh and Cobbo
View from the ground
Cobbo and Co. they offer an outstanding appearance
Reece Walsh and Selwyn Cobbo, you can both take a bow after this. Walsh delivered a perfectly weighted and shaped kick that Cobbo somehow managed to plant just before reaching the dead ball line. Parramatta are in real trouble now – they're 16 points down and Ryan Matteron is about to report. Yes, it's true. Brisbane led Parramatta 30-14 after 60 minutes.
Mother's domain expands the lead
Blaize Talagi has lost his footing again. It didn't cost the Eels in the first half, then it did. Mam saw Talagi out of position and made a perfect little kick. Talagi's swipe made it a lot easier. Brisbane led 24-14 after 54 minutes. In other CommBank news, it's winding down.
Anyone care to predict what's next?
This has been a strange game. Apparently, as soon as a moment seems to have the upper hand, they somehow concede a try. Parra did it twice in the first half, Brisbane responded in kind in the second. Now, with 28 minutes to go, watch out for the team that wants to be behind. They will probably score. Brisbane lead 18-14.
