The NRL expects a 83,000-capacity crowd sell-out at Accor Stadium for their Grand-final between two western Sydney heartland Clubs – the Parramatta Eels against the Penrith Panthers. NRL CEO Andrew Abdo confirmed yesterday that the demand for tickets has been phenomenal.
Meanwhile, no one gave the Eels Women a chance but they will join their Men at this week’s NRL Grand Final, after qualifying for the 2022 NRLW decider vs the Knights, with a stunning 24-10 Semi Final win over the unbeaten minor premiers and reigning champions, the Sydney Roosters.
