KICK-OFF! We're off!
Here come both teams, Panthers in their white licorice kits while the home side is in their traditional maroon and yellow. Panthers are ready to receive. Here we go!
After two days of footy-less joy, we're back for the start of round nine! The underfire Penrith Panthers, once touted as premiership favourites, are now toiling in the lower recesses of the ladder with only two victories this season. They take on the Brisbane Broncos, who have been tight contests all season - the latest a controversial victory over South Sydney last Friday - they are also playing on the unfamiliar day of Thursday. Join us at 7:50PM AET for kick-off!
