Eels Clinch Thriller Over Dragons in Golden Point Showdown
What a night of rugby league action! Let me tell you, if you missed this one between the Eels and Dragons, you missed one of the most nail-biting finishes of the season. We’re talking about a game that had it all—big moments, high emotions, and a golden point winner that had fans on the edge of their seats. Parramatta Eels finally broke their winless run in 2025, sneaking past the St George Illawarra Dragons 23-22 in extra time. And it wasn’t just a win—it was a statement.
The atmosphere was electric from the kickoff, especially with the added spice of two players, Zac Lomax and Clint Gutherson, lining up against their former clubs. You could tell this one meant more than just competition points—it was personal.

The game was tight the whole way through, momentum swinging like a pendulum. The Dragons put up a solid fight and kept the pressure on, but the Eels just refused to roll over. It was a back-and-forth arm wrestle, with moments of brilliance sprinkled throughout. Then came the golden point.
You could feel the tension. Every tackle, every play-the-ball, every kick felt like it could be the decider. And then, Zac Lomax stepped up and booted the Eels to their first win of the season with a clutch field goal. Talk about redemption. Against the club he left behind, in front of roaring fans, he became the hero Parramatta needed.
What makes this even sweeter for the Eels is that the win came after a string of frustrating losses. They’d been desperate for a breakthrough, and they delivered when it counted most. On the flip side, the Dragons will be left licking their wounds, knowing they had their chances but just couldn’t seal the deal.
It wasn’t just this game that made headlines either—Saturday night footy was full of action. The Broncos had a dominant win over the Tigers, though not without concern, as captain Adam Reynolds exited early with a hamstring twinge. Brendan Piakura gave everyone a scare with a head knock, but thankfully gave the crowd a thumbs-up as he was stretchered off. Meanwhile, the Dolphins finally picked up their first win of the year with a commanding performance over the Titans.
But back to that Eels-Dragons classic—this is what we love about the NRL. Grit, heart, rivalry, and those edge-of-your-seat moments that remind us why we tune in every week. That golden point finish might just be the spark the Eels needed to turn their season around. Let’s see if they can ride this momentum in the coming rounds.
