In an epic battle reminiscent of a high-stakes game of footy, the Penrith Panthers have emerged as the frontrunners to secure a spot in the highly anticipated Las Vegas showdown in 2025.
With their regular home ground out of commission for renovations, the Panthers have strategically plotted their path to Sin City, eyeing games in Las Vegas, a home Magic Round clash, and their beloved Bathurst match to weather the storm of playing away games in Parramatta.
