ANALYSIS: This could be the moment Latrell Mitchell becomes a rugby league superhero
It is the greatest moment of your life, and you do it again and again and again, telling yourself a never-ending story until the Sun goes down, the lights go out or you're called inside for dinner.
Mitchell is a complex player and man, and putting his accomplishments down to natural talent does him a disservice, but when he's at his best he plays like something a child would dream up — when he really wants to do it he can simply kick further, hit harder, run faster and pass quicker than anybody else, and there's not much anybody can do about it.
Such is their star power and their excellence in knocking out the Roosters and Sharks, it's easy to forget they finished the regular season in seventh and haven't spent a single week in the top four all year. A lot of dreams have a monster at the end and the Panthers can fill that role with aplomb. They're the best team in the league and have been all season. Their path to a second consecutive premiership has felt inevitable all year.
