Tonight will also mark 200 games for Penrith superstar Nathan Cleary.
Cleary’s Panthers have been unbelievable in 2026 and that’s understating it. They’ve won all five games by at least 20 points, the first time any team has achieved the feat.
It means they come up as unbackable favourites against a Dogs side who were considered one of the premiership fancies at the start of the year.
Cameron Ciraldo’s men aren’t struggling by any means but have lost two straight games and will be without skipper Stephen Crichton, so tonight will be a very tall task for them.
