The tantalising prospect of a retro Canberra-versus-Penrith grand final is gathering speed following the Raiders' rapid-fire return to the top of the NRL ladder.
The same roster makeup Brisbane have been criticised for at times could ultimately save their NRL finals hopes after hamstring injuries to Adam Reynolds and Ezra Mam.
Penrith have exacted revenge on Newcastle with a 48-12 thrashing that lifts the resurgent Panthers into the top four and confirms a nine-game winning streak.
Gold Coast star Jayden Campbell has accepted an apology from the Penrith trainer who controversially ran in front of him while lining up a kick at goal.
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder but in injured Dolphins strike centre Herbie Farnworth's case it also makes his mindset stronger.
St George Illawarra have backed Shane Flanagan in their "vision for success", extending the coach's contract until the end of the 2028 NRL season.
