After reaching the NRL Grand Final as recently as 2022, the Parramatta Eels were the NRL’s most disappointing team in 2024, as they finished 15th. As a result, the Eels parted ways with former coach Brad Arthur, appointing Jason Ryles to the role for the 2025 season.
Parramatta have also experienced plenty of player changes in the off-season, led by the departure of captain Clint Gutherson to the Dragons. Winger Maika Sivo and forward Reagan Campbell-Gillard have also left the club.
However, the Eels have gained a trio of key backs, with Zac Lomax, Josh Addo-Carr and Isaiah Iongi all joining the blue and gold for 2025.
Let’s look at the latest NRL odds for the Eels.

Best Parramatta Eels bets for NRL 2025
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for Parramatta, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- Despite finishing in 15th last season, the Eels are tipped to be one of the NRL’s top improvers for 2025 as their premiership odds sit at $26 with top Australian bookmakers. The combination of Dylan Brown and Mitchell Moses is one of the best halves pairings in the league, which should pair nicely with their explosive backline. They may not have the depth and quality to match the top teams in the NRL, they should be much better than the disappointment of last season.
- At $2.25 to make the top eight with leading online betting sites, Parramatta are expected to be right back in the finals mix this season. Their back row group of Shaun Lane, Ryan Matterson, Kelma Tuilagi and J’maine Hopgood are capable of big things, while a fit Junior Paulo is imposing in the front row. Losing their captain and top try scorer from last season leaves a big gap to fill, but if the new additions can adapt quickly, there is no reason why the Eels can’t return to the finals.
- As one of the biggest names to make a move in the off-season, there are high expectations around Zac Lomax in 2025. The 25-year-old rediscovered his best form last season with the Dragons, leading the side with 14 tries, while also earning an Origin berth. Set to replace Maika Sivo who averaged the most tries per game in the NRL last season, expect plenty of opportunities to come Lomax’s way this season.

Eels players to watch in 2025
Isaiah Iongi
Born: 24/6/2003
Games: 1
Tries: 0
Position: Fullback
Coming across from the Panthers in the off-season, 21-year-old Isaiah Iongi is expected to be thrown straight into the number one jersey this year. Replacing long-term captain Clint Gutherson, the pressure is on Iongi to impress early despite having just one game of experience. One of the most highly touted prospects in the NRL, Iongi is a former NSW Cup fullback of the year winner and will be one of the favourites for the Dally M Rookie of the Year.
Mitchell Moses
Born: 16/9/1994
Games: 225
Tries: 46
Position: Halfback
After playing just eight games in 2024 due to a mix of injuries and Origin selection, halfback Mitchell Moses will almost feel like a new signing for the Eels in 2025. At his best, Moses is one of the best halfbacks in the NRL and played a key role in their run to the grand final back in 2022. He forms a formidable halves partnership with Dylan Brown and if he can return to form, there is no reason why the Eels won’t be in the mix for finals this season.
J’maine Hopgood
Born: 11/5/1999
Games: 45
Tries: 5
Position: Lock
J’Maine Hopgood is another player expected to have a strong 2025 after missing large parts of the 2024 season due to a back injury. One of the most consistent players in the game, Hopgood leads the Eels in tackle numbers every season, which is something needed at the Eels after missing more tackles than anyone else last year. The Queensland representative is the most important member of the forward pack and if he can stay healthy throughout the year, their chances of success are substantially higher.

- The Parramatta Eels were born out of a vision that began in the 1930s but only came to fruition at the end of World War II. The club’s early years were a tough grind, failing to reach the NSWRL finals until 1962. However, the seeds of success were sown during the 1970s, when the Eels emerged as a competitive force. They made six consecutive finals appearances and reached the grand final in both 1976 and 1977, though heartbreak followed both times—first with a narrow loss to Manly and then in a replay defeat to St. George.
These near-misses set the stage for a golden era in the 1980s. With a squad brimming with stars like Mick Cronin, Steve Ella, Brett Kenny, Ray Price, and Peter Sterling, Parramatta secured their first premiership in 1981. The Eels followed that success with back-to-back titles in 1982 and 1983, narrowly missing out in 1984, and returned to the pinnacle again in 1986. In just six seasons, Parramatta claimed four premierships and appeared in five grand finals—a period still celebrated as the club’s greatest.
Since then, however, the premiership trophy has eluded Parramatta. Despite finishing at the top of the ladder in 2001 and 2005 and reaching the grand final in 2009, the Eels have not managed to break their title drought. Adding to their struggles, the 2009 premiership loss to the Melbourne Storm was later overshadowed when the Storm were stripped of that title for salary cap breaches. However, Parramatta faced its own controversy in 2016, when they were docked premiership points and fined $1 million for breaching the salary cap.
The 2024 season was a challenging one for the Eels. After finishing 15th on the ladder with seven wins and 17 losses, the club made significant changes. Long-serving head coach Brad Arthur departed in May, with Trent Barrett taking over as interim coach for the remainder of the season. In July, Parramatta announced Jason Ryles as the new head coach, signing him to a four-year deal starting in 2025.
Roster changes have also shaped the Eels’ outlook for the 2025 season. Long-time captain Clint Gutherson has moved to the St. George Illawarra Dragons, while Reagan Campbell-Gillard joined the Gold Coast Titans. To strengthen their squad, the Eels have brought in winger Josh Addo-Carr from the Bulldogs, center Zac Lomax from the Dragons, and promising fullback Isaiah Iongi from the Panthers.
As the club prepares for 2025, hopes are high that Jason Ryles’ leadership and the refreshed roster can guide Parramatta back to success. While the glory days of the 1980s remain unmatched, the Eels are determined to write a new chapter in their storied history and bring an end to their long premiership drought.
