The New Zealand Warriors and the Parramatta Eels are set to face off in Round 26 of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at Go Media Stadium on Friday.
The Warriors slipped down to fourth on the ladder, following three consecutive losses, including a loss to the Titans in Round 21. They returned to winning ways with a crucial 14-10 win over the Dragons and following their win last weekend, they confirmed their spot in the 2025 Finals Series.
After only two victories in their first ten games, the Eels had a terrible start to the season and were near the bottom of the standings.
