Penrith Panthers vs Parramatta Eels NRL 2025 Round 13 FAQ’s

Who would've thought that this game would be so hard to pick. I still don’t believe when looking at the ladder that the Panthers are 17th. The beauty of it is that you will get great odds on the Panthers if you are brave enough to back them and they start winning games.

Yes Parramatta have won their last two matches and Penrith have won 1 of their last four, but I’m praying to the footy gods that origin sparks something in the Panthers veterans and they bring their thirsty blue blood back to the mountains.

Both teams have been having trouble defensively and 2025 trends suggest that this one will open up. So, I am taking the over and backing the support play of Dylan Brown to continue to deliver tries for the Parra five-eight.

Yup, you read it right, the Panthers are last on the competition ladder, however, they are just 3 points away from Brisbane in eighth.

Look, I have it wrong like the rest of Australia, but the Panthers are still ranking well in a lot of key stats, which my nerd brain says should see them start winning games. They rank third in run metres, third in tackles inside 20m with an try to tackles inside 20 efficiency of 13.9 tackles, which is also ranked third along with another third ranking in territory.

The issue is defence, however, they are more mediocre than it being a catastrophe and don’t deserve to be on the bottom if you relate to their numbers. They are 9th in opposition run metres, and ninth in opposition possession, the biggest problem is being ranked thirteenth in opposition linebreaks which has resulted in being ranked 12th in opposition points.

Plenty of people are running hot on Parramatta now that Mitch Moses is back and well if you look at the last two weeks’ results you can see why. A 28-6 win against the Knights and a 30-10 victory over the Sea Eagles has Eels fans excited.

Both in attack and in defence, those numbers look good, however, the competition has been poor. The knights have been the worst attacking side in the comp and Manly and Parramatta were both missing their halves, so does that result count?

I’m not sold on the Eels just yet is all I am saying or maybe I’m just sour cause they burnt me the two weeks prior.
