Written by sidhanta

Parramatta withstood a late charge from Gold Coast and a controversial Junior Paulo send off to record a third-straight NRL victory.

Earlier, Latrell Mitchell was injured in South Sydney's win over St George-Illawarra, while Melbourne thumped the Raiders in Wagga Wagga. 

Parramatta halfback Mitchell Moses' right boot has secured the Eels a 26-20 win in a helter-skelter NRL contest against Gold Coast at Robina Stadium.

Moses picked up three try assists as the Eels held off a second-half fightback from the Titans to claim their fourth win of the season.

On the back of a Clint Gutherson double, the Eels were cruising with a 20-0 lead in the second half before Gold Coast twice deliberately conceded penalties to use their captain's challenge successfully to score.
