Overview

  • Parramatta overturned a 14-12 halftime deficit at Suncorp Stadium to record a 22-20 victory powered by Mitchell Moses’s return from a calf injury and two tries by Zac Lomax.
  • Fullback Reece Walsh finished with three second-half errors, including an offside call that nullified a potential match-winning try.
  • Prop Payne Haas was seen limping at full-time as he continues to manage a lingering lower back complaint that limited his minutes.
  • Coach Michael Maguire urged greater discipline and patience after the loss, warning that errors must be cut out to keep finals hopes alive.
  • Captain Adam Reynolds said he must step in to calm Reece Walsh when he ‘gets a bit sideways’ in order to steady the team’s performance.
