Penrith Panthers vs Parramatta Eels Preview
There is no shortage of storylines heading into Sunday’s epic Grand Final between the Panthers and Rabbitohs at Suncorp.
Penrith is looking to atone for last year’s disappointment to the Storm, while the Bunnies can cap off a remarkable finals campaign by sending Wayne Bennett off with another premiership.
As the market suggests, there is very little separating the two sides after they met only three weeks ago in the first week of finals.
It’s hard to say which team has momentum on their side, but when it comes down to it, this year’s Grand Final will likely be won and lost on the wing.
Alex Johnston finished the season on top in the try-scoring department for the second year in a row, and if he can rely on some clutch kicking from Reynolds close to the line, the Bunnies might have the advantage through the air.
The fact this is Wayne Bennett’s final game as coach will also play a part.
The legendary coach is looking to win his eighth premiership, and while hardware is the ultimate goal, there’s no doubt Bennett’s players will want to send him off in style.
As the line suggests, this game should be close, but with an outstanding 5-1 record as the away underdog against South Sydney, the well-disciplined Bunnies are a good bet with some insurance.
