I believe we have a real opportunity to win the premiership this year.
My take, citing other posters, is that were less overloaded with post season commitments, better squad depth, less pressure to maintain a streak and several players having their required post-season surgeries and rehabilitation.
Weve developed a strong system internally within the club and the pre-2010 era should never become reality with how we are managed as a club.
That being said, we were the best team for several years and last year was our worst year but look where and how we finished.
I think we’re going to be hard to stop this year. We might have one or two more seasons with the fundamental pillars that started it all but the momentum will shift to the new generation with ease IMO.
The saying “all good things come to an end” to me is a malapropism. It’s relative. Yes, we didn’t win five in a row but that’s a narrow bandwidth of success. Weve cemented the foundations of this club and its success is found within the sustainability of the same.
If we made the preliminary and semi finals for the next few years, I’d prefer that than what many of us have experienced over a long tenure as panthers fans.
Our peak as a club won’t be surpassed for many years, if at all. That in itself is a core memory for many panthers and RL fans and worth holding on to.
2026 will be competitive and the pressure is on every other club. Expect good things.
