Penrith Panthers' back-to-back NRL premierships the culmination of grand final victories across all grades

Penrith Panthers have won back-to-back NRL premierships and reached three straight grand finals. They lost just one regular season game before being stunned by Melbourne Storm in the 2020 grand final. Penrath won the 2021 and 2022 titles. They are untouchable at full strength. Only Parramatta's two wins earlier this year were against something resembling a full-strength line-up. The rest came from depleted teams. When Melbourne beat them 16-0 in round 20 this season, pundits hailed it as proof gods can bleed.

Penrith won all four grades this year. They beat the Eels in the grand final. The NSW Cup team beat Queensland champions Norths Devils 44-10 in State Championship. Api Koroisau is not sure if this team is the best in 20 years. Ivan Cleary is expected to start playing with Tonga at the World Cup. Sunia Turuva scored three tries and ran for 500 metres in both the State Championships and the Grand Final. He is also expected as Apo Koroosa's replacement at Penrath in 2323. He will play at first grade. His best position is wing. If Ivan cleary decides to play him at number nine, he will be a good player.

Penrith Panthers won back-to-back NRL premierships. They won all four grades. The team is made up of players from different cultural backgrounds. It's a team less littered with in-demand stars than some previous dynastic sides. They have signed Nathan Cleary to a contract through 2027. Isaah Yeo, Jarome Luai, Dylan Edwards and James Fisher-Harris are signed through 2020. Isaiya Katoa and Sean O'Sullivan have been signed by the league's 17th team in Redcliffe. J'maine Hopgood will play for this year's runners-up.
