globalrugbyleague - Wed, 01 Aug 2007 08:41:00 GMTThe National Rugby League kicks off round 21 with another arch rivalry when Parramatta play their famous 80’s foes, Canterbury, at Telstra Stadium on Friday night.
Will the Eels fall at the final hurdle against another nemesis of yesteryear for a second week in a row or will they take advantage of the injury hit homeside?
Both teams are inside the the top eight and realise that every win and loss between now and the end of the regular season will determine where they finish.
Get your VCR’s locked for this one because it too will go down in the halls of history as a clash not to forget for a long time to come.
Meanwhile at least 4 home teams who are all coming off dire losses last weekend will be looking to have the last laugh at the expense of all the so-called ‘experts’ who’ve written them off.
Can the Sharks, Knights, Panthers and Gold Coast do it? Email your thoughts to GRL via our contact form.
