One last ride: Penrith Panthers claim 4th consecutive NRL premiership
Adam and Goran may not have picked them to win, but when the finals roll around, the Panthers always pounce. Like Goran, you might have burning questions about this year's NRL season, and we’re here to tackle them, dishing some players more heat than others. If you’re feeling a bit worn down, spare a thought for the injured players heading into surgery in the coming weeks, as well as those jumping straight into the Pacific Championships later this month. Thanks to everyone who’s tuned in throughout the season. It might not have been our year, but here’s hoping that whichever team you support, next year will be yours.

Goran questions whether predictability is such a bad thing with the top four play-off teams mirroring the round robin standings.
