The 2025 NRL season's Round 25 clash on Saturday night will see the Parramatta Eels host the Sydney Roosters at the CommBank Stadium in Sydney.
The Eels dropped to 14th place on the ladder after a 20-16 defeat at the hands of the Rabbitohs last week. Meanwhile, Isaiah Iongi has been named in the fullback position after returning from a hand injury recently.
The Roosters have a 11-10 record this season and moved to eight place after three straight wins over the Sea Eagles, Dolphins and a top-4 contender Bulldogs last week.
That puts them in a perfect spot as the Eels have accumulated a shocking record this season: winning just one of their 10 matches against top-8 sides. The Roosters are also pushing for the finals once again, having done so in 11 of the last 12 seasons.
