Penrith are getting set for an sudden-death final against the Sydney Roosters.
The match is part of the opening week of the NRL finals. Stephen Crichton's hopes of returning have been dashed. The Panthers posted an updated team list for that clash.
As one report says, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat fueled a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is facing criticism over a decision involving the Warriors. That call could put 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.
