Plenty is on the line in Round 20 when the Eels take on the Tigers at Bankwest Stadium.
The Blue and Gold need the two points to secure a top four finish on the ladder, while the Tigers are keen to send off Club legends Benji Marshall and Chris Lawrence on a winning note.
Here are five things you need to know about the clash.
Eels final chance to secure top four finish
The Eels’ finals destiny is in their own hands.
They need a win to secure a top four finish and can’t rely on the Raiders losing to sure up their spot.
The Tigers will be playing with plenty of heart, as they send off two of the Club’s all time favourite sons.
Tigers farewell two Club legends
Club legends Benji Marshall and Chris Lawrence will play their final game in Tigers colours after 14 and 15 seasons respectively.
Robbie Farah will present the pair with game balls, on what will be a sad day for fans and teammates.
Lawrence is hanging up the boots, while Benji is on the hunt for another team to play with in 2021.
The Club had plans to give the pair a Leichhardt Oval swansong, but it wasn’t to be.
Bankwest send-off
As mentioned, the game won’t be played at Leichhardt Oval and rather Bankwest Stadium.
The Parramatta hub is technically both the Eels’ and Tigers’ home ground.
The Blue and Gold, however, have shown in the past they love playing there, with their winning record hard to argue against.
