In a fortunate turn of events, the Penrith Panthers will be fielding an almost full-strength team in their upcoming preliminary final against the Melbourne Storm.
This is an exciting prospect for coach Ivan Cleary, who has had to contend with numerous injuries throughout the season.
The return of Jarome Luai and Izack Tago from their respective injuries is a welcome boost for the team.
Unfortunately, Taylan May remains unavailable due to an ACL injury sustained during the pre-season World Club Challenge.
Despite the challenges posed by injuries, Cleary commended his players and staff for their adaptability and resilience.
The coach also attributed the increase in injuries to the previous year's World Cup.
By overcoming these setbacks, the Panthers have showcased their determination and ability to navigate difficult situations.
With their almost full-strength lineup, the team is poised to give it their all in the crucial preliminary final.
