Can Parramatta Eels emerge from Lang Park with their NRLW premiership dreams intact? Or will Brisbane Broncos prevail?

Despite last week's heartbreaking loss to the Roosters, Parramatta still believe they can win the NRLW premiership but, to prove it, they will have to march into the belly of the beast and live to tell the tale.

Unless the Roosters can upset the Dragons on Saturday, the Eels will hit the Lang Park turf for their match against Brisbane on Sunday, assured of a place in the semi-finals.

However, after last week's heartbreaking 19-18 loss to the Tricolours, Parramatta are not looking to limp into the playoffs.

They are still set on making some noise in the title race and they have had this clash with Brisbane circled all season.

«We've been looking forward to this one since the beginning,» Eels forward Kennedy Cherrington said.

«They're the benchmark, but last week shows they are not unbeatable. We have so much respect for them, they're pioneers, but we want to see how we go against them, to see exactly where we are.

»Our best is still right there. It's so close. Those little lapses in our game cost us, little things against the Dragons and the Roosters, if we fix those and worry about ourselves and remember we have nothing to lose."

There have been few good times to play against the Broncos, but Sunday is about as bad a time as the Eels could ask for.

Brisbane will welcome back fullback Tamika Upton and prop Millie Boyle, who both missed last week's loss to the Titans, and the minor premiership will be up for grabs for the competition favourites.

Throw in the fact it is Brisbane's sole game at home for the season, so springing an ambush seems a tall order for the Eels.

But Cherrington is adamant the blue and golds can find what it takes to get it done.

«They're pioneers in the game, so I look up to them. But I want to test myself
