Two premiership fancies go head-to-head in a dream start to the 2024 finals series, but it’s the Roosters who need to overcome recent history to prevail.
So, more on the Roosters’ bad record against the three-time premiers.For a team with their own three-time premiership-winning coach and a dozen Origin or international stars, it’s wild that the Roosters have just one win from 20 games against Penrith and Melbourne.Since the start of 2020, they have a five per cent win record against the Panthers and Storm – the worst of any side against the two best teams of the past five years.The Dolphins might yet match them.
Poor old Wests Tigers might have three wooden spoons in the cutlery draw at Concord, but they also have a couple of wins over the Panthers.Since Penrith rose to power, Trent Robinson’s side do not, in nine attempts and counting, as they’ve been reminded ad nauseam by the rest of the rugby league world.But there are lessons to be learnt of course, because not even the Panthers are unbeatable, and 10th time might just be the charm.
