The Parramatta Eels take on the Sydney Roosters at ANZ Stadium on Saturday 1 September in Round 25 of the NRL Telstra Premiership for our final home game of the 2018 season, thanks to our Match Day Sponsor Amart Furniture.
The two sides will be playing for the Jack Gibson Cup, honouring the late coach and rugby league icon who led both sides to multiple premierships in the 1970s and 1980s along with the Man of the Match awarded the Chad Robinson Medal.
The clash at ANZ Stadium will also be Member Appreciation Round, as the Club celebrates and rewards our 2018 Blue & Gold Members.
Be sure to arrive early as the first 2000 Fans through the gates will receive a collectable commemorative Parramatta Eels flag in our final Super Flag Saturday of the year.

50-50 Charity Raffle
The 50/50 Charity Raffle is back this week and in Round 22 we are showing our support for the Nathan Gremmo Foundation.
The Gremmo Community Fund Inc. was established in 2008 as a facility to deal with the increasing number of community projects that the Gremmo Family had become involved with. In 2015 The Gremmo Community Fund Inc. altered its name to The Nathan Gremmo Community Fund Inc. to honour the legacy of Nathan Gremmo.
The Nathan Gremmo Community Fund established Jersey Day in 2015 to promote awareness of the Donate Life Network and Organ & Tissue Donation.
50-50 charity raffle tickets will be on sale throughout the precinct at ANZ Stadium from staff and charity volunteers dressed in 50-50 uniforms.
Every ticket sold will be electronically recorded and updated on ticket-seller iPads, on the 50-50 website and on the various screens throughout the stadium, so members and fans can monitor the draw and watch the total prize pool grow in real time.
Visit the 50-50 Charity Raffle volunteers who will be roaming the ANZ Stadium precinct or at their 50-50 booths located at Gates B & K.
The total proceeds of all 50-50 tickets sold at each game go into a prize pool, with 50% of the prize pool going to the lucky winner of the random draw and 50% being donated to the nominated Charity Partner (-10% administration fee from 50-50).
