The Parramatta Eels sent a very pointed message to the other NRL clubs on Saturday night when they knocked off the premiers 20 – 16.

With the Cowboys coming off a solid win over Cronulla the previous week, the Eels knew they’d need to be very good to have a chance against the Cowboys.

The humid conditions made handling tricky but five eighth Corey Norman (pictured), who’s in red hot form this early in the season, believes the clubs ability to keep aiming up is a very good sign at this early stage.
