It's crunch time for the Penrith Panthers as they aim for a four-peat party in the NRL.
There has been a sense of something not quite right about the Panthers this year, despite their impressive track record.
Winning three premierships in a row can take its toll, especially after a demanding World Club Challenge trip.
Injuries have plagued the team, with star halfback Nathan Cleary only just returning after playing just six games.
The State of Origin period has added to the fatigue and pressure on the squad.
The Panthers need to show they are "Built Different" as they head into the finals if they want to lift the trophy again.
In previous years, the Panthers have taken everything in their stride, dominating opposition teams even when understrength.
They have a history of rolling through the finals and coming out on top.
With Cleary back in the mix, will he pave the way for another memorable season for the Panthers? Only time will tell if they can reclaim their winning ways and continue their reign as champions of the league.
