Background

The match has traditionally drawn large crowds, including selling out the opening of the new Western Sydney Stadium, where the Parramatta club defeated the Wests Tigers by a record-breaking 51–6. [1]

No event was held in 2020 due to the season being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
