Penrith thrash Melbourne 38-4 in Sydney, and qualify for their fourth-straight NRL grand final
Australian Associated Presspremiership three-peat is 80 minutes away from becoming a reality after they downed Melbourne 38-4 to book their spot in the grand final.
It would take a brave soul to bet against Ivan Cleary’s men repeating the same feat on Sunday week, with the winner of Saturday’s preliminary final between Brisbane and the Warriors their opponents.If that wasn’t enough to concern them, livewire five-eighth Jarome Luai was given an early mark after emerging unscathed in his first game back since suffering a dislocated shoulder.
At times on Friday night, they barely got out of second gear and made light work of a Storm side short on power and panache. Their patience lasted a little over two minutes, Marion Seve giving away a penalty which allowed the Panthers to attack and finish their set with Brian To’o going over in the corner.
