Ivan Cleary’s record breakers are favourites to kick off the finals series, pending last-round results. But they also have their eyes on how to get back to their new home as quickly as possible in 2026.

Three-time defending champions Penrith have tentatively been booked to open the finals series in what would be the last game at their traditional home before a $309 million redevelopment.

The schedule is reliant on second-placed Penrith toppling the Titans at home on Saturday night and the third-placed Roosters beating the Rabbitohs 24 hours earlier, which would mean both teams would maintain their positions on the ladder. It would then leave minor premiers Melbourne to host 2016 grand final rivals Cronulla the following night in the other qualifying final. The Sharks are unable to finish higher than fourth if the Panthers and Roosters win their games earlier in the round.

Panthers superstar Nathan Cleary remains on track to return in the first week of the finals after missing three games with a shoulder injury.The 26-year-old is unlikely to be available for Mal Meninga’s Kangaroos squad for the Pacific Championships as he desperately tries to nurse his shoulder through the finals series.
