Lachlan Croker, Martin Taupau, The Cowboys scored two consolation tries but the Eels finished things off with a try to Dylan Brown to secure their 14th win of the season. Parramatta got the win the team so desperately needed but not all the Eels' prayers were answered with Maika Sivo injured in their victory over North Queensland.
Desperately needing a victory before the finals after Brad Arthur admitted he'd been embarrassed, Parramatta was far from perfect against the struggling Cowboys.
But the Eels were good enough to snap their four-game losing streak, taking the lead early and never relinquishing it on the Gold Coast. Mitch Moses enjoyed his best game since fracturing his back in State of Origin, as the half-back set up three tries and kicked superbly to force just as many repeat sets. Clint Gutherson also bagged his first try in more than two months, with his four-pointer the highlight of the night after Moses put Haze Dunster away and he kicked back inside for the full-back.
They completed just 70 per cent of their sets, making nine errors in the first half alone. Nathan Brown was put on report for a crusher tackle on Reuben Cotter, with any charge set to rule him out for at least one match. Hooker Joey Lussick was also picked up for dangerous contact, meaning the Eels risk taking another hit at dummy-half if he is suspended. But Sivo is the biggest concern, with the star winger on crutches after his knee was twisted in a tackle.
The Eels fear he has suffered medial ligament damage, putting the rest of his season in serious doubt. The only positive for the Eels ist that Blake Ferguson is approaching fitness again, and could be called in to replace Sivo after battling his own form and injury issues this year. Sivo had earlier set up the Eels' first try, getting a ball back in to Waqa Blake to score after the centre had initially batted it onto him. Dane Gagai was forced from the field after he took heavy contact to his head while attempting to tackle Paul Momorovski.
Rugby League immortal Andrew Johns immediately recognised Gagai was in a bad way, however, Gagai continued to play for several more minutes before he was taken from the field by a medical official on the ground. The shoulder, and his head went ricocheting from head to head like a pinball. I hope he is OK.

The Sea Eagles' five second-half tries flipped the switch on an opening stanza in which they struggled to complete their sets. His younger sibling Tom scored his opening four-pointer in the shadows of half-time, before completing his hat-trick with tries in the 72nd and 80th minutes. Garrick and Cherry-Evans crossed for second-half tries, while Jake Trbojevic posted his second of the match in the 57th minute. Lachlan Ilias made an immediate impression in his first opportunity to become Adam Reynolds's long-term replacement as South Sydney held off St George Illawarra.
In a match that could barely be considered a finals warm-up with eight Rabbitohs rested, Ilias starred on debut for the Rabbitohs, who will play Penrith in the first week of the play-offs. St George Illawarra trailed with 13 minutes to go, before Tyrell Sloan scored two tries and Mikaele Ravalawa claimed another in the penultimate minute to set up a grandstand finish. But in a fitting end to the Dragons' season, the off-contract Corey Norman dropped the ball with 20 second to play, allowing the Rabbitohs to seal the win.
