The match is on the schedule for the opening week of the NRL finals. Stephen Crichton's hopes of returning have been dashed. The Panthers put out an updated team list for that game.
According to a report, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat triggered a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is meeting criticism over a decision involving the Warriors. That ruling could place Penrith or the Sydney Roosters in a tough spot.
Penrith also have to contain Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. The finals preview is ready on 9Now.
