The Panthers' den down at BlueBet Stadium will be roaring this Saturday as Ivan Cleary has unveiled his squad to take on the Dragons in Round 13 of the NRL.
It's a mix of experience and fresh blood, with Trent Toelau and Preston Riki set to make their debuts on the interchange bench, while winger Jesse McLean gets his first crack at NRL action this season.
Brad Schneider is back in action at halfback, ready to orchestrate the Panthers' attack alongside five-eighth Jack Cole.
The backline will see Daine Laurie holding down the fort at fullback, Liam Henry causing havoc in the back row, and Lindsay Smith bringing some grit at lock.
The absence of key players like Dylan Edwards, Brian To'o, Jarome Luai, Liam Martin, and Isaah Yeo due to State of Origin duties will be a blow, but it's all part of the game.
It's a chance for others to step up and make their mark on the field.
The Panthers will be looking to channel the spirit of legends past as they aim to secure another victory and continue their march towards finals glory.
