2018 Sydney Double Header
We are excited to announce that in 2018 the Parramatta Eels will co-host the inaugural Sydney Double Header with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 3. This will be a fantastic day of Rugby League as the South Sydney Rabbitohs take on the Manly Sea Eagles at 5pm, followed by our mighty Parramatta Eels playing the 2016 Premiers, the Cronulla Sharks.
