With Munster ruled out of the match, questions quickly arose as to who will don the No.6 jersey for the Maroons, with Origin selections only days away.<\/p>\n

Melbourne were first to strike against the Eels, with a slick pass from Harry Grant sending Tui Kamikamica crashing over the line.<\/p>\n

Despite struggling to maintain possession, Parramatta was quick to respond as Bailey Simonsson dove over on the \ufeffright edge and grounded the ball in goal.<\/p>\n
