Penrith Panthers keep five-peat alive with win over Canterbury Bulldogs

Penrith Panthers keep five-peat alive with win over Canterbury Bulldogs

Penrith are the kings of September, crushing Canterbury Bulldogs 46-26 to keep their hopes of a fifth-consecutive NRL premiership alive.

The Panthers only concern will be a late shoulder or rib injury to Liam Martin, who left the field and disappeared down the tunnel in pain.

Isaah Yeo was also placed on report, but should have no trouble with the judiciary for what looked an innocuous tackle.

The Panthers will head to Brisbane for a blockbuster preliminary final, taking on the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium in a repeat of the 2023 Grand Final.

They were absolutely perfect through the first 40 minutes, completing a perfect 20 sets and scoring six tries to one to obliterate any hopes the Bulldogs had of rescuing their season.

The Panthers will face the Broncos at 6.05pm Sunday in Brisbane.

In another preliminary final, the Storm will take on the Sharks at 9.50pm Friday in Melbourne.
