Penrith Panthers legend Tony Puletua can’t wait for Sunday’s grand final when his old team clashes with their biggest rivals – Parramatta.

Puletua has labelled this current Panthers team a “very special group”.

“It’s awesome at the moment. It feels great to see the success the club is having and this team and how well they’re going,” Puletua told westernweekender.com.au.

“It’s just great to see.

“I’m seeing it from a different perspective as a supporter – it’s a really good feeling and it’ll be even better when we smash Parra on Sunday.”
