The PenrithPanthers are the toast of the NRL after a dominant grand final win over theParraEels. NRL 7NEWS
The Panthers lost just four games all year - twice to the Eels during the regular season - but were never troubled on Sunday night.Watch the latest sport on Channel 7 or stream for free onNathan Cleary played a typically strong hand for Penrith but fullback Dylan Edwards was the star of the show, laying on two try assists and recording 281 metres to win the Clive Churchill Medal.
“It’s hard to describe, to put into words, it’s awesome. I’m rapt. What a bunch of boys to do it with. Jeez I’m happy,” Edwards told Nine before he was announced as the official man of the match.The Panthers are the second team in recent history to win two grand finals in a row, after the Sydney Roosters in 2018-19, and the one-sided nature of the victory sealed their status as one of the greatest teams in NRL history.
While Penrith will lose Viliame Kikau and Api Koroisau next year they appear set for a dynasty of success. In the past three years alone they have won 67 of 78 matches, making their run the most dominant since Parramatta claimed three straight titles in the early 1980s. And after 15 minutes on Sunday, it became evidently clear that there would be no return to the glory days for the Eels.
