Penrith Panthers great Greg Alexander has hailed the 2024 Grand Final as the crowning glory in the team's storied history.
In a historic four-peat premiership win, the Panthers triumphed in a thrilling clash against the Melbourne Storm, defying the odds as the underdogs entering the decider.
Despite facing off against the minor premiers who had bested them in both regular-season showdowns, the Panthers showcased their unwavering dominance in the NRL competition.
With a spine of steel, the Panthers have weathered the storm of losing key players each season, proving themselves time and time again as the team to beat.
Reflecting on Penrith's journey to the top, Alexander, who led the Panthers to their maiden premiership in 1991, pinpointed the team's solid spine as the cornerstone of their success.
"Penrith may have been a bit scratchy in their finals run, especially against the Cronulla Sharks in the lead-up," Alexander remarked on SEN 1170 Breakfast.
The 2024 Grand Final will go down in Panthers folklore as a testament to their resilience, determination, and unwavering spirit on the field.
This victory cements their status as true rugby league legends, etching their place in history as one of the greatest teams of all time.
