Meet your NRL heroes in the Territory

There are now more reasons than ever for Territory Eels fans to get excited, with Parramatta Eels players past and present set to make star appearances in the Red Centre and Top End.

As part of the partnership with the Paramatta Eels , delivered through Northern Territory Major Events Company, the ‘Territory’ Eels will carry out a number of community initiatives while in the NT.

Eels Captain Clint Gutherson said he was looking forward to meeting Territory fans.

“Our team really enjoys taking part in the community initiatives and we love meeting the locals. We’re hoping to see plenty of supporters come along to the signing session, and we’re pleased fans will be able to come and catch all the action at the Captain’s Run too,” he said.

Eels legends will start the week in Alice Springs, where they will take part in school visits, including at Ntaria (Hermannsburg), and hold a come-and-try event at Anzac Oval from 4.30pm on Monday, 17 April.

Eels fans in Darwin can meet their present Eels heroes at a player signing at Darwin Waterfront on Tuesday, 18 April from 5.15pm in the lead up to their clash with the Brisbane Broncos on Friday, 21 April.

In addition, the Eels Captain’s Run will take place at TIO Stadium on Wednesday, 19 April from 7pm-8.30pm, and there is room for a limited number of fans to head along to watch, free of charge. Details on how to apply will be emailed to all ticketholders to the game.
