<p>You’d have to imagine Parramatta head coach Jason Ryles is counting down the days until Mitchell Moses is back from injury.</p> <p>It’s been a torrid start to his tenure in Western Sydney sans the services of his star half, with the Blue and Gold form guide reading four games, four losses.</p> <p>Unsurprisingly, that’s good for the bottom of the table, but no time to dwell on the last month, there’s a Dragon at their door.</p> <p>Well, 17 to be exact. One of them is also their former captain Clint Gutherson, who will run out against his old side for the first time on Saturday.</p> <p>Will he come back to haunt the club he served for nearly a decade? Or can his former employers defy the odds and find their first win of the season at his and his teammates expense?</p> <p>Let’s take a look at how these two sides will line up, along with some betting tips for the H2H, first try scorer and over/under markets. Check out our Parramatta vs St George prediction and preview below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Parramatta vs St George Teams</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Parramatta Eels</h3> <p><strong>1.</strong> Isaiah Iongi<br /> <strong>2.</strong> Sean Russell<br /> <strong>3. </strong>Will Penisini<br /> <strong>4. </strong>Zac Lomax<br /> <strong>5.</strong> Josh Addo-Carr<br /> <strong>6. </strong>Dylan Brown<br /> <strong>7.</strong> Dean Hawkins<br /> <strong>8. </strong>Joe Ofahengaue<br /> <strong>9. </strong>Ryley Smith<br /> <strong>10. </strong>Junior Paulo<br /> <strong>11. </strong>Shaun Lane<br /> <strong>12.</strong> Kitione Kautoga<br /> <strong>13. </strong>J'maine Hopgood<br /> <strong>14.</strong> Dylan Walker<br /> <strong>15. </strong>Luca Moretti<br /> <strong>16.</strong> Sam Tuivaiti<br /> <strong>17. </strong>Dan Keir</p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <h3>St George Dragons</h3> <p><strong>1.</strong> Clint Gutherson<br /> <strong>2.</strong> Tyrell Sloan<br /> <strong>3. </strong>Moses Suli<br /> <strong>4. </strong>Valentine Holmes<br /> <strong>5. </strong>Christian Tuipulotu<br /> <strong>6. </strong>Kyle Flanagan<br /> <strong>7. </strong>Lachlan Ilias<br /> <strong>8. </strong>Toby Couchman<br /> <strong>9. </strong>Damien Cook<br /> <strong>10. </strong>David Klemmer<br /> <strong>11.</strong> Luciano Leilua<br /> <strong>12. </strong>Jaydn Su'A<br /> <strong>13. </strong>Jack de Belin<br /> <strong>14. </strong>Jacob Liddle<br /> <strong>15. </strong>Blake Lawrie<br /> <strong>16. </strong>Hamish Stewart<br /> <strong>17. </strong>Dylan Egan</p>
<h2>Parramatta vs St George Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>Oh Parramatta. The less said about the Eels, the better. It’s simply not happening for Jason Ryles’ men at the moment.</p> <p>Their opponents this week, St George, snapped their winless start to the season in stunning style last time out, shooting down the previously undefeated Storm.</p> <p>No prizes for guessing who we’re siding with here. If they can knock off Melbourne, surely last placed Parra will be no match for Shane Flannagan’s men.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/parramatta-eels-v-st-george-illawarra-dragons-9069477">St George Dragons.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>Gutho to go over first here and give it to his old boys? Wouldn’t that be quite something.</p> <p>After marshalling the Eels defence for the better part of a decade, he should know it better than anyone and as a result be able to find holes in it from the get-go.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/parramatta-eels-v-st-george-illawarra-dragons-9069477">Clint Gutherson.</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Over Under Prediction</h3> <p>Parra and points seemingly don’t go together in 2025, particularly without the services of main man Mitchell Moses.</p> <p>It hasn’t exactly been raining tries for the Dragons either this season and after you discover that each of Parramatta's last three matches have gone under the total match points line of 49.5, backing the under becomes the more appealing of the two.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-league/nrl/parramatta-eels-v-st-george-illawarra-dragons-9069477">Under total match points.</a></p>
