Penrith are getting set for an sudden-death final against the Sydney Roosters.
The match is locked into the opening week of the NRL finals. Stephen Crichton's hopes of returning are gone. The Panthers posted an updated team list for that game.
As one report says, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat fueled a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is meeting criticism over a call involving the Warriors. That call could leave Penrith or the Sydney Roosters on the wrong end.
Penrith also must shut down Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. The finals preview can be streamed on 9Now.
