Eels Vs Dragons: Dragons and Eels are locked at 10-10 at WIN Stadium
The eels vs dragons Round 27 match is underway at WIN Stadium, with St George Illawarra and Parramatta level at 10-10 late in the first half. The game is also Damien Cook’s final NRL appearance before he moves to the Super League next season, according to live coverage from Nine.
Dragons and Eels are locked at 10-10 at WIN Stadium
Parramatta opened the scoring through Jordan Samrani in the third minute. The Dragons then had an unusual restart after Lyhkan King-Togia allowed the ball to bounce over the sideline, giving the Eels possession in attacking territory.
St George Illawarra responded through Tyrell Sloan, who collected a well-placed King-Togia kick to score. Dylan Egan later levelled the match after running onto a short pass from King-Togia, leaving the teams tied at 10-10 as the first half approached its conclusion. These match developments are reported in Nine’s live updates.
A final score was not established in the available reporting. The latest verified position is therefore a live, tied match rather than a completed result.
Why the match matters for both clubs
Neither side has finals football ahead of it. A Round 27 preview reported that St George Illawarra had already secured the wooden spoon, while Parramatta entered the match after a 38-18 win over Cronulla. The same preview said the Dragons had conceded 88 points across their previous two games, including losses to Manly and Canterbury. Those assessments come from Before You Bet’s match preview, rather than from the live match report.
Another report listed Parramatta to finish 13th and St George Illawarra 17th. Fox Sports also identified the match as Cook’s final NRL game, played for the Dragons at the ground where his career began in 2013.
Farewells in the Dragons-Eels team lists
Cook started at hooker for St George Illawarra. Nine reported that the match was also the final game for Dragons players Blake Lawrie, Mathew Feagai and Sloan.
Parramatta’s side included Jack de Belin on the interchange. Nine described it as his final game for the Eels against the club with which he spent most of his career, while also reporting that his future for 2027 remained unclear.
The Dragons were listed to line up from one to 19 as named, while Sean Russell moved to fullback for Parramatta and Apa Twidle reverted to the bench. The next established development is the remainder of the live match, with the score still 10-10 in the latest update.
