Penrith are getting set for an elimination showdown against the Sydney Roosters.
The match is part of the opening week of the NRL finals. Stephen Crichton's comeback hopes are gone. The Panthers put out an updated team list for that match.
As one report says, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat triggered a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is drawing criticism over a ruling involving the Warriors. That decision could put Penrith or the Sydney Roosters on the wrong end.
Penrith also need to nullify Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. The finals preview is available on 9Now.
