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.''

"Paulo is a shadow of what he once was and is getting worse each year. He looks like he hates the collision these days. Sadly that is what he would display if kept around as a leader for our pack for others to follow. Sam T already seems to follow in…"

"Did you watch him play in this years final for Souths? He was owned by old man Gagai. Laurel went missing all game although he did pass the ball from dummy half a lot to the other outside backs to work it out of their end. Massive NO."
