Across two stints at Penrith, Daine Laurie offered reliable fullback cover, particularly when Dylan Edwards was absent.
His pace helped recreate Edwards' backfield carries, and he could cover other backline spots or play utility without disrupting Ivan Cleary's system.
Penrith's 2020-2026 run included finals appearances every season, at least a preliminary final each year, five grand finals and four premierships.
Their 2021-2024 four-peat made them the first club in 58 years to win four consecutive titles.
They topped the ladder in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2026.
Four clubs won titles across the seven seasons; the Roosters alone matched Penrith's annual finals run and took the 2026 premiership.
Melbourne remain the consistency benchmark, with 25 finals appearances in 29 seasons.
Penrith's success came despite salary-cap constraints, key-player departures and long-term injuries to major stars.
Less-celebrated players covered Origin windows, absorbed mid-season workloads and fulfilled defined roles that helped maintain standards.
