@PeterVLang Great job filling in for Troy. He might have to lift his game upon return 👍😁

A brand new episode of our Penrith Panthers podcast is out now, with Nathan Taylor and Peter Lang filling in for usual host Troy Dodds. Listen here: westernweekender.com.au/2026/05/podcas…

Saw a useless stat on FB during the week @PenrithPanthers fans & I thought I might run it through the Penrith filter. Lists aren't a reflection of the player, but more a reflection of the team's success during the period of their respective careers at Penrith. #PantherPride

@Amarillo1942237 @PenrithPanthers @NRLKnights That’s another one, although Jimmy did go and play for Catalans in the Super League. His last game with Penrith. Was also Royce’s final game as coach.

@mazo1eighty @PenrithPanthers @NRLKnights Steve Carter's final NRL game, and James Maloney's final NRL game.

Game day @PenrithPanthers fans & I'd like to take you back to a couple of very contrasting games between the Panthers & @NRLKnights. A common bond between these 2 games is that one is our biggest win & one is our biggest loss v Knights. Any guesses for a 2nd bond? #PantherPride

The hat-trick by Dylan Edwards yesterday was the 86th time a @PenrithPanthers has scored 3 or more tries in a game. It was the 2nd time Dyl has surpassed 3 tries or more & he's the 18th Panther to do it more than once. Will be tough for anybody to catch Rhys Wesser. #PantherPride

Both were the final games of seasons where the club failed to make finals footy but 2 seasons later tasted premiership success.

Today's game is the 60th encounter between the @PenrithPanthers & the Knights. We currently hold a winning record against our opponents. Can Nathan crack 150 career points against the Knights or will he or Bizza go top on the all-time tryscorer list in Knights games #PantherPride

@SCContributors @PenrithPanthers @NRLKnights Not the common bond I had identified, but I agree with you 100%.

@mazo1eighty @PenrithPanthers @NRLKnights Two of the greatest halfbacks ever were on the winning teams?

@zeppled69 @PenrithPanthers The 80's was a dynasty decade for both the Eels and the Bulldogs, but they only had 61.96 & 61.18 win% across the 80's respectively, despite winning 4 premierships each. Didn't make the top 10 list from a win% perspective. They rank in the top 20 efforts.

@mazo1eighty @PenrithPanthers What about Parramatta in the 80s ? That was a dynasty

The current decade still has a few seasons to play out @PenrithPanthers fans, but our beloved footy club is on a pretty amazing trajectory. Let's hope the club bosses keep both Ivan & Nathan at the club till the end of the decade, stamping their name on the dynasty #PantherPride

@TravisNei @PenrithPanthers Would be a tragedy if that happened. Especially if Nath went to another NRL side. Hopefully he’s a Panther for life.

@mazo1eighty @PenrithPanthers We will miss him if he does end up leaving

Hope all you @PenrithPanthers fans have recovered from last night's intense result. What a win! That's the 28th time we've had to endure a golden pt thriller & the 15th time we've got the win. Nathan sealed it with an FG for the 5th time. That's why he gets the $$$. #PantherPride

Casey McLean's suspension this week means he's played his final NRL game as a teenager & he's finished 6 tries short of Luke Lewis on the all-time @PenrithPanthers teenage try scoring list. What a list it is. Also, my money's on Moses getting a try Friday night! #PantherPride

I was there at the game in Melbourne when Nathan made his NRL debut & unfortunately I can't be there tonight to see him play game 200 for the @PenrithPanthers. Wishing Clez the best of luck & hopefully another win on his already impressive resume. #PantherPride

The @PenrithPanthers breaking some serious club records against the Storm in R5. Stats have the boys well ahead of any other start to a season for our club & Nathan & Tom continue to surge. But let's not get too excited....it's a long season & we're only 5 games in! #PantherPride

Congrats to Barmedman's best Liam Martin. What a player he's been for our @PenrithPanthers since his 2019 debut. Had to wait till his 6th game to taste a win. Joins Brad Izzard & Luke Lewis as the only Panthers to play their 1st & 150th matches against the same club #PantherPride

Tonight's game is our 50th v the Storm @PenrithPanthers fans & they'll be the 16th club we've achieved the milestone against. Our record in game 50's is good, but we've not gone in with many +ve win-loss ratios. Also, Milky & Nath continue their steep projectories #PantherPride

Friday night's win was the @PenrithPanthers biggest away win against the Roosters and Milky became the first Panther to score 4 tries against the Roosters. The boys also equalled the best defensive start to a season, matching their 2021 effort of just 10 points. #PantherPride

I forgot to do a game day post, so he's a belated one with no real movement in historical stats v the Sharks. @PenrithPanthers are closing in on 50 wins. Bonus stats for opening 2 Rds historically. Nate needs 18pts to draw level with Girds for opening 3 Rds at 42pts #PantherPride

After being away for work these past 2 weeks, I completely forgot to do a game day post @PenrithPanthers fans. Here's an updated stat grab v the Broncos & as a bonus some stats on holding opponents to nil. Better late than never & what a win by the boys. #PantherPride
