Panthers pumped for clash

Posted by 1Eyed Eel on August 25, 2009 at 9:30am
PENRITH captain Trent Waterhouse has thrown down the gauntlet for Friday's battle with Parramatta, declaring the Panthers are "pumped'' to stop the Eels juggernaut. The 22,000-capacity Parramatta Stadium is set to host one of the most important local derbies of the neighbour's 32-year rivalry, with a finals berth on the line. While Waterhouse acknowledged the Eels as the NRL's form side, the Panthers skipper vowed his men were ready to step up. "It's a massive game. The biggest game of the year for us, the local derby as well, so we are pumped,'' Waterhouse said. "They are playing some great footy, with their big guns firing. It's going to be a great test for us. We're going have to step up a fair few notches to compete with them.''
