From a grand final replay to superstar recruits facing their former clubs for the first time, the 2025 NRL season is poised to get off to an explosive start.
Josh Addo-Carr’s first game for Parramatta is likely to be against former club Canterbury in round three after the NRL front-loaded the opening rounds of the season with grudge matches.
Should Addo-Carr be available to make his Eels debut against the club that sacked him, it will only add to a series of grudge matches and revenge missions in the opening five rounds of the season.

Speaking to this masthead earlier this month, Addo-Carr said it would be a “weird” feeling when he first came up against the blue and whites.“It will be weird, it is what it is. It was the same thing when I versed my mates down at the Storm.” “The other consideration is that a lot of the female players have jobs or are studying, they aren’t full-time professionals. So playing games on a Thursday or a Friday or even very early on a Saturday has an impact on them. We’ve taken that into account.”
