Penrith's hopes of a fifth premiership in six years could again hinge on Nathan Cleary's fitness, after his joy at avoiding a finals ban was dampened by confirmation of bone damage in his foot.
The 2026 NRL season proper has come to an end, so it's time to evaluate every team's year.
A defiant Ivan Cleary insists his superstar son Nathan should not face a ban for dangerous contact, after the Penrith star went from villain to hero in the Panthers' 19-12 finals win over the Sydney Roosters.
Daly Cherry-Evans is smart enough to know that the success of his late-career move to the Sydney Roosters will be defined by whether he finishes this year with a premiership or not.
Penrith's premiership pedigree has prevailed once again, with the Panthers overcoming the sin-binning of Nathan Cleary to defeat the Sydney Roosters 19-12 in a gripping qualifying final.
The NRL season has arrived at the pointy end, with the finals kicking off without any of last season's Top 4 teams returning. We are set for an incredible run to the grand final as the Panthers look to collect another title.
