Wins have been hard to come by for Parramatta this year but Jordan Samrani is one of the few Eels players who remains undefeated in 2026.
In all three of his starts in an injury-interrupted 2026 campaign, Samrani has tasted victory.
Having missed five rounds of this season with a knee issue, Samrani returned for last Friday's drama-charged golden-point win over North Queensland that breathed life into the Eels' (4-6) season.
The 24-year-old made a crucial break down the sideline and got over for a try in the win over the Cowboys.
"I don't want to call myself a lucky charm but maybe if we keep winning we can say that," Samrani told AAP.
"We completed at 94 per cent last week, and that's why we won the game.
"If you're completing well then you have every chance to win the game.
"He (Ryles) always talks about scrap and fight - that's all he cares about, just scrapping and fighting and giving 100 per cent in every game.
"If we do what we did against North Queensland for the rest of the year, then we're going to have a good shot of having a great season."
Samrani's record could be put to the test at Magic Round against Melbourne, who have won their last seven meetings with the Eels.
The Storm showed signs of revival in a big win over Wests Tigers last week and thumped the Eels 52-4 in round one.
"It'll be my first game against Melbourne but as a team we've come so far from when we played them last time," Samrani said.
"We don't worry about past performances, we just worry about this week and try and build on that."
Samrani, meanwhile, hopes to represent Lebanon at the Rugby League World Cup later this year and has been in regular contact with Cedars head coach Michael Cheika.
"I didn't play at the last World Cup because I did my ACL," Samrani said.
"We had a little Lebanon catch-up last month and Cheik always checks in with you, he's an amazing guy and so invested in the team.
"My grandparents were born there and moved over here in the late 1960s.
"Just what goes over, they go through a fair bit so it would be nice to bring them some joy because that's who we're playing for."
