The South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Parramatta Eels face off in the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL)'s Indigenous Round 24 at Allianz Stadium in Sydney.
The Rabbitohs' performance has drastically declined in the last couple of months. They had a great start, winning four of their first five games, but they have only won three of their past 16 games. They had fallen all the way to the bottom of the ladder, however, their victory last weekend against the Titans has pushed them to second-last with their opponent falling back to the last spot.
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. They have improved somewhat in recent weeks, winning five of their previous 10 games, but their form is still erratic, and they are already out of the running for the Top Eight.
