At the halfway point of the competition, we're going to take moment to run the rule over each team and rate their performance thus far.

The below gradings are based mainly on results vs expectation but other factors were considered. Please feel free to let us know if we got it right, or where we have it wrong.

3. Parramatta Eels

Like the Cowboys, the Eels were pre-season favourites and should really be challenging for the top four. In reality, they will be lucky to avoid a wooden spoon. This despite having a stacked roster and a coach who has a brilliant resume.

Moses and Norman have been shadows of their 2017 selves, Clint Gutherson is being bounced around and can't seem to find his groove. Bevan French was a superstar last season but is a fringe reserve grader.

The forwards are being monstered in almost every contest. Jarryd Hayne has provided nothing more than the odd distraction. Words really can't sum up the horror that has been the Eels 2018. Almost no chance of finals while jobs look to be in huge danger. Incredible.

Grading: F

during the round 13 NRL match between the Parramatta Eels and the Newcastle Knights at ANZ Stadium on June 2, 2018 in Sydney, Australia.
