The 2025 NRL season's Round 21 clash on Friday night sees the Brisbane Broncos face off against the Parramatta Eels at the Suncorp Stadium.
The top four berth is well within the grasp for Broncos, who are on a five-game winning streak. Brisbane will be confident against an Eels team they have beaten in four of the five matches as they look to add wins before they face Melbourne Storm twice in the upcoming weeks.
Prop Payne Haas returns after rest from Origin duty while Jesse Arthars is set to feature in the lineup for the first time since a rib injury in round 17. Meanwhile, captain Adam Reynolds is 14 points away from reaching his 2500 career points milestone.
Parramatta haven't won game in the past month but are looking to avoid the wooden spoon while currently sitting just two points above the bottom-placed Titans. They have also lost five of their last six games at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.
