For sure. Melbourne, Penrith and Brisbane will be there or thereabouts.

They’ve always been a big game team. Beat Penrith start of the season, they’ll also be up there come end of the season.
How's their record since they had to stop cheating? Drugs and salary cap cheats. All that matters to Aussies is winning. They get the same satisfaction from cheating to win as by winning fairly.

Too be fair they get stripped of all there best players every season and still do great.Its teams like the roosters and parra that seem to get all there own way in the NRL

And everyone hates Penrith, but the truth is, they bring a lot of their young talent through.

They’ve got to the final 4 times, winning 2 in the previous 11 seasons. Won 4 minor prems in that period as well.
Not bad as they seem to do nothing but cheat…

I think it’s because there that good so people like to see them get humbled.
There are one hell of a team, a well oiled machine and a good never say die attitude. You can never write them off even they go 18 nil down, still fancy them to get back into it.

Always a sign of a great team when no one likes bar their own fans.

Was that after the blatant cheating was revealed? Didnt they have a bunch of that struck from the record? I don't know because I don't really follow NRL. Seems more recent than a decade ago the cheating thing but time flies.

Funny. I know the broncos and the roosters but never thought Penrith were very high profile. I'm not sure they register as a main outside of NRL circles.
