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 have fallen through. The Panthers put out an updated team list for that clash.
According to a report, a 'dead silent' Panthers group chat sparked a dynasty resurgence. The NRL is facing criticism over a call involving the Warriors. That ruling could place Penrith or the Sydney Roosters on the wrong end.
Penrith also have to contain Roosters winger Mark Nawaqanitawase. The finals preview is available on 9Now.
