The Parramatta Eels face the Penrith Panthers at Panthers Stadium on Friday 11 September in Round 18 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
The upcoming clash will be the 100th NRL Premiership clash between the two sides and we are expecting another tough Battle of the West clash this Friday night.
The Eels are coming off a 24-18 victory over the Warriors last week, the Blue & Gold’s 13th win of the season, whilst the Panthers will be looking for their 16th win of the season. The Panthers have lost just one the clash this season, against the Eels in Round Five, and they boast a 8-0 record at home.
Eels prop Junior Paulo will also play his 150th NRL game this week.
