The Panthers have hit their stride now, and despite some tricky games on the run home it's going to take a miracle to stop them even with Mitch Kenny (leg) and Dylan Edwards (shoulder) sidelined. Their complete demolition of Canberra in Mudgee has them flying at the top of the ladder with a ridiculous for and against, so even if they drop a game (unlikely) over the next five weeks they're basically assured the minor premiership. Six grand finals in seven years? Looks that way.
