Highlight: The consolidation of a western Sydney superpower.
Lowlight: Having to say Pepper Stadium all year long.

The Penrith Panthers are in a wonderful position to do something special in the next few years. Their first 17 is strong but with the likes of Bryce Cartwright, Apisai Koroisau and Isaah Yeo waiting in the wings, the Panthers are on the brink.
Ivan Cleary is one of the premier coaches in the NRL and is backed by a plethora of leaders and young guns, they’re the perfect mix.
