The Parramatta Eels are set to face off against the Melbourne Storm in Round 22 of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at the CommBank Stadium in Sydney.
The Eels endured a dreadful start to the season, sitting at the bottom of the ladder after just two wins in their first 10 games. While their form remains inconsistent, they’ve shown modest improvement in recent weeks with three wins from their last seven, lifting them to 14th ahead of the clash with the Storm.
The Storm have been in fine form this season as they have managed to take home 13 wins from their opening 18 games. They were on a six-game winning run before they suffered a shock loss to the Sea Eagles a fortnight ago but bounced back last weekend with a win over the Roosters.
Melbourne enter Round 22 in third place on the NRL ladder, four points off against the leaders, the Raiders.
