With only minutes left on the clock before halftime, the Eels went through under the posts when Wiremu Greig barged his way over the Mounties defence to head into the sheds 12-6 up at the break.
Solomone Naiduki slid over down the left edge after some great lead up work from centre Michael Oldfield to increase the Eel's lead to 18-6 after 67 minutes.
Moments later, a long range effort from Blake Ferguson from well within his half put the game to bed for the home side when he scooted down the right hand sideline for Parramatta to climb into the top 2 on the ladder.
