Penrith are preparing for an sudden-death final against the Sydney Roosters.
The match is locked into the opening week of the NRL finals. Stephen Crichton's return hopes are gone. The Panthers put out an updated team list for that clash.
According to a report, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat triggered a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is drawing criticism over a call involving the Warriors. That ruling could put Penrith or the Sydney Roosters in a tough spot.
Penrith also need to nullify Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. The finals preview is available on 9Now.
