Penrith have climbed Mount Everest once, but keeping their NRL dynasty alive will mean doing it again.
Melbourne have given themselves a shot at grand-final redemption, with the club's new big four booking a spot in the NRL decider with a 22-14 win over Cronulla.

Ahead of Friday and Sunday's preliminary finals, there are four potential grand final matchups, Darren Arthur considers which decider would be most attractive.
Josh Reynolds believes the two teams from outside the Top 4, the Sharks and Panthers, will win through to the grand final this weekend.
Peter V'landys says he wants Mark Nawaqanitawase to be picked for Australia in the Ashes, even with the Sydney Roosters sensation plotting a path back to rugby.
