He has also represented City Origin, New South Wales and Australia. His position of choice is at second-row.
Playing career
After playing junior football for Cambridge Park and Emu Plains JRLFC, Waterhouse made his first grade debut against Melbourne Storm at Olympic Park on 17 August 2002 in Round 23, which was also the same game in which Steve Turner debuted. He was a member of the Penrith 2003 NRL grand final-winning team in their 18–6 win over Sydney Roosters. After that he went on the 2003 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France, helping Australia to victory over Great Britain in what would be the last time the two nations contested an Ashes series. Waterhouse would play a total of ten internationals from then till to 2005. As 2003 NRL premiers, the Panthers travelled to England to face Super League VIII champions, the Bradford Bulls in the 2004 World Club Challenge. Waterhouse played at lock forward in the Panthers' 22–4 loss. In February 2007, Waterhouse signed with the Panthers until the end of 2011.[2]
He was selected for City in the City vs Country match in 2006 and again in 2009.[3]
Waterhouse made his representative debut in the 2004 State of Origin series, playing in games I and II off the bench for the New South Wales Blues.[4] Selected again in 2009,[5] Waterhouse was sent off after coming into a fight between Steve Price and Brett White during game III of the State of Origin series. He became the first Blues player to be dismissed from an Origin game,[6] and the first since Gorden Tallis to be sent off in an Origin match. His dismissal capped off a horror year for NSW as they lost their fourth (of eight) straight Origin series.
On 29 June 2011 it was announced Waterhouse had signed to join English Super League club Warrington from 2012 on a three-year deal. Waterhouse played in the 2012 Challenge Cup final win over Leeds Rhinos, scoring a try in the first half, and the 2012 Super League Grand Final loss to the Leeds Rhinos.[7]
He signed to the Thirroul Butchers in the Illawarra Rugby League for the 2015 season.[8]
