Re-built Panthers on the prowl again in the NRL
2 hours agoJust what is it in the water out Penrith way that helped produce incredible wins against defending premiers Melbourne and the hapless (or should I say hopeless) New Zealand Warriors? Maybe the secret ingredient is not the water and is hidden in the milk provided by major club sponsor, OAK. Penrith’s about-face over the past [...]
All I am saying is give Pearce a chance
