Thanks for joining us this afternoon.

We'll be back next week when Souths face Manly and Melbourne host Parramatta.

For all the wash up from this clash as we look forward to next week, be sure to stay tuned to the SMH NRL page.

After handing Brisbane their worst ever loss, the Eels are off to Melbourne.

The last time Melbourne met Parramatta they flogged them 64-10 at Magic Round.

If the Eels play like they did today, there will be no flogging at AAMI Park on Saturday.

Alvaro adds icing on cake

By

Make that 58-0 as Daniel Alvaro crashes over in mighty soft fashion.

The full time siren soon follows, finishing Brisbane's season.

That's the worst loss in NRL finals history.

The Eels are airborne but this will count for nothing if they can't replicate something close to this level of performance against the Storm at AAMI Park on Saturday.

Moeroa adds to Broncos' misery

By

The romp continues as Tepai Moeroa hits, spins and scores another try for the Eels.

Gutherson sends Brown over

Clint Gutherson has been in everything for the Eels this afternoon and he splits the line once more before turning the ball inside to Dylan Brown.
