Penrith Panthers vs Melbourne Storm Preview
Could this be a preview of the 2023 NRL Grand Final?
The Panthers are chasing an unprecedented hat-trick of Premierships and meet the only other club that has looked capable of that feat this century.
Fourteen wins from nineteen games have seen the Panthers into equal first on the ladder, and while the Storm haven’t been as scary this year, their twelve wins have been enough to see them into fourth.
Both clubs torched their respective opponents in Round 22, and both are eager to get stuck into it again this week.
I certainly understand the Panthers’ market favouritism at home, but I don’t have as much between them as the bookies seem to!
