The NRL's back-to-back reigning premiers were in for a shock in Round 1, when they went down 8-0 to the Melbourne Storm, their second loss in a row after losing the World Club Challenge to the Wigan Warriors.
But they will face stiff opposition in their attempt to get a win on the board, when they host a Parramatta Eels team that steamrolled the Bulldogs in their opening game.
Can the Panthers get their quest for a three-peat back on track, or will the Eels notch a second statement-win in a row to start the season?
