East Coast Eagles v UNSW-ES Bulldogs
It's rare to find ourselves at Blacktown International Sports before the finals series, however with a week of foul weather, the East Coast Eagles v UNSW-ES Bulldogs game was one of two WPD matches to be moved out west. The Eagles were denied of their rowdy crowd and home comforts, and with the Bulldogs fresh from a Bye in round 7, East Coast would need to bring their best effort to take home the win. The Bulldogs showcased excellent intent across the 4 quarters, with ruck K

UTS Bats v East Coast Eagles
The UTS Bats hosted the East Coast Eagles at Waverley Oval, for their second clash in the 2026 season. The Bats were pushing to maintain their spot in the top 4, and being a game ahead of the other sides, they would need to secure a win to stay competitive. The Eagles have just 1 win under their belt this season, and if their previous match up with the Bats was any indication, they would need to play at their best to challenge the home side. The umpire raised the ball, and E
