The article forecasts a dominant finish for the Parramatta Eels against the struggling Newcastle Knights in the 2025 NRL Round 27 finale. Expert analysis highlights the Eels’ improved form, superior defense, and goals for a third straight win. Dylan Brown’s farewell, Josh Addo-Carr’s tryscoring streak, and the Knights’ poor recent performances shape the predictions. Key action points include the Eels covering the 13.5 point line, surpassing 30.5 team points, and expecting standout moments from Brown and Addo-Carr. Newcastle’s season woes and unchanged lineup suggest a tough finale.

Dylan Brown will play his last game for the Eels and his club will farewell him in style with a huge win against the Newcastle Knights who could be one of the worst sides I’ve watched in the NRL era.

Nothing has gone right in the Hunter but the complete opposite could be said for Parramatta who look to have a bright 2026 on the horizon, finding their groove with 4 wins from their last 6 matches and a stunning defensive turnaround that has seen them concede 10 points less per game in their last 5 compared with their season average in the 17 matches prior. 

Take your pick with the team totals here, focusing more on Newcastle trends than anything else. The Knights have conceded an average of 43.5 points in their last 5 and have not scored over 18 points in their last 8 games. I’m taking the Eels over 30.5 because it is more exciting to back.

Josh Addo-Carr is in career form with 7 tries in his last 6 so he is a gimme ast an anytime tryscorer and I will likely have a dabble on Dylan Brown in his final match as well. 

  • Parramatta have won 6 of the last 7 matches against the Knights.
  • Parramatta have averaged 35.5 points in their last 5 matches against Newcastle.
  • Newcastle have conceded an average of 43.2 points and no less than 38 points in their last 5 matches.
  • Josh Addo-Carr has scored in 5 of last 6 games for Parramatta Eels

Head to Head 


Parramatta have won 6 of their last 7 matches against Newcastle, including a 28-6 victory in Round 11 this season when Zac Lomax scored a double.

3 of the last 4 matches between the Eels and Knights have gone over the game total.

Parramatta Eels Form Analysis


Parramatta have got it together to end the season. When reflected upon it will be a year of what could have been if Mitch Moses stayed healthy. However their are plenty of positives to take into the 2026 season, riding the momentum of how they closed out the year.

Four wins from their last six matches and with a victory against Newcastle they can make that 5 along with three consecutive wins. Jason Ryles has worked his magic and has his group buying into his system which is a real positive for the club moving forward with a strong group of young stars.

The most impressive stat is that the Eels defence has been on absolute point to close out the season, giving up and average of 17.8 points to their opposition in their last 6 matches, a vast improvement on the 27.1 points they averaged in the first 17 games they played this season.

Newcastle Knights Form Analysis


There is not a lot to say about the Knights that hasn’t already been said. Another 40-16 loss to the Sharks last week was their eighth in a row, adding more misery to the departure of head coach Adam O’Brien from the club. 

The Newcastle attack has failed them all season and their motivation in defence has diminished. It will be a sorry end to their season and O’Brien’s time at the club.

The Knights have listed an unchanged side from their loss to the Sharks last week in Adam O’Brien’s final game in charge.
