Warriors Seek Top-Four Spot as Eels Visit Auckland

As the penultimate round of the 2025 NRL regular season approaches, clubs are either preparing for a finals push or getting ready for the offseason. On Thursday, August 24th, Canterbury and Penrith will kick off the round, with the Panthers fielding a second-string side.

The action then shifts to New Zealand, where the ladder-leading Warriors will host the Parramatta Eels on Saturday, August 26th. The Warriors have been in patchy form lately, winning just twice in their past five matches. However, they have been strong at home, winning five of their nine fixtures at Go Media Stadium this season. The Eels, on the other hand, have struggled on the road, winning just three times away from home. But they did manage to stun the Roosters with a comprehensive 30-10 victory last week.

The match-up between the Warriors and Eels promises to be an intriguing one, as the home side looks to solidify their spot in the top four, while the visitors aim to keep their own finals hopes alive. With the Eels' winger Josh Addo-Carr set to make his 200th NRL appearance and looking to continue his strong scoring form, the game could be a high-scoring affair.
