'New Face, New Grace': The annual Panther rebuild driving towards a four-peat
As the Panthers lace up their boots for another pre-season, they are reminded to leave behind the glory of their previous premiership victory.
It's a new line-up, a new squad, and a new chance to prove themselves on the field.
Making history is no easy feat, but Penrith managed to clinch back-to-back premierships in 2022, following in the footsteps of the Broncos in the '90s.
And just last year, they pulled off a rare three-peat, a feat not seen since the Eels dominated the 80s.
However, hooker Mitch Kenny sees the constant turnover of star players as a driving force behind the team's hunger for success.
With fresh faces joining the squad each season, there's an air of excitement and determination to prove themselves on the field.
Kenny, who missed out on the 2021 grand final win, bided his time behind Api Koroisau in 2022 before earning his spot as the starting hooker last season.
This constant cycle of change and growth keeps the Panthers on their toes and hungry for more success.
So, as the Panthers gear up for another season of challenges and triumphs, they embrace the new identity that comes with each fresh start.
It's a new dawn, a new day, and a chance to etch their names into Rugby League history once again.
