Katie Brown and Zac Bailey are the ultimate wingman and wingwoman.
They began MCing the Parramatta Eels game day in 2021 and our Anzac Day game against the Brisbane Broncos in Darwin will be no different.
So what makes them such great sidekicks for each other?

I know I don’t take much too seriously, but I feel really emotional about this one, there’s a real sense of pride and honour being part of my first ANZAC day as MC. Very appreciative to any Parra fam.

I have never been to Darwin before so can’t wait to visit TIO stadium! And also the Broncos are starting to find some form so victory will taste even sweeter when our Eels are victorious!

Q. Describe Katie in five words
Fun (not funny), energetic, committed, entertaining, joyful
Q. What makes Katie such a good wingwoman on game day?

Q. What’s your favourite Eels’ moment so far in 2021?
The Eels holding on to beat the Storm on a wet and wild night at Bankwest Stadium in round two.
Q. Favourite part of MCing game day
The opportunity to work with some awesome people and the thrill and buzz when I hear Eels fans cheer after we’ve announced who has scored a try
Q. What makes you proud to be MCing the Eels’ Anzac weekend game?
It’s the first time I’ll be an MC for an NRL game on the ANZAC weekend which is a great honour given the significance of the day for all of Australia. I used to go to the ANZAC March in Sydney with my grandfather and I’ve attended dawn services since I was 11 to pay my respects.
Q. What makes you most excited about the Eels v Broncos Darwin game?
The Eels have been on the best teams in the NRL so far in 2021 and the Broncos showed plenty of fight against the Panthers, and given the match will be played in Darwin means it’s going to be an unforgettable experience
