Penrith are getting set for an do-or-die contest against the Sydney Roosters.
The match is on the schedule for the opening week of the NRL finals. Stephen Crichton's return hopes have been dashed. The Panthers released an updated team list for that match.
Per a report, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat triggered a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is facing criticism over a call involving the Warriors. That decision could leave Penrith or the Sydney Roosters at an unfair disadvantage.
Penrith also must shut down Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. The finals preview is ready on 9Now.
