Game Day Guide: Round 14 v Parramatta Eels (i4Give Cup)

The I4Give Cup is a joint initiative between the two sides and the Cup itself has grown to stand for resilience and the ability to overcome setbacks.

In 2022, Josh Jackson hoisted the Cup for the Bulldogs following it's inaugural match. It was an upset match that fans and players are unlikely to forget, toppling a grand-final bound Eels, 34-4. Last year, the Cup was taken by the Eels with Clint Gutherson accepting the trophy on-field.

This year, the Bulldogs enter the match hungry for their third straight win and to retain their perfect record at home this season. The match will be played at Accor Stadium, with a family-friendly kick-off time at 4:00pm on Monday (King's Birthday public holiday).

Here's all the details you need to know ahead of the blockbuster match:

WHAT'S ON

I4Give Cup

The occasion will mark the i4Give Cup, a joint initiative between the Bulldogs and Eels in memory of Sienna (8), Veronique (11), Angelina (12), and Antony (13), who all tragically passed away after a drunk/drugged driver incident in Oatlands in 2020.

Danny and wife, Leila Abdallah made waves when they publicly announced they had chosen to forgive the driver responsible and have since created the i4Give Foundation in recognition of the power of forgiveness when it comes to mental health support and helping individuals prosper.

The Round 14 fixture will see the two teams play in the memory of the Abdallah & Sakr children, and battle for the rights to the i4Give Cup for the third time. The Cup will be presented by the Abdallah family post-match on the field.
