Penrith Panthers vs New Zealand Warriors Preview

Minor Premiers and reigning champions, the Penrith Panthers kick off another finals campaign against the New Zealand Warriors at home on Saturday afternoon.

Boy, they are a bloody good footy side.

I personally wondered if the Panthers would drop off a little this year, without the like of Koroisau and Kikau, but they have been just as good in 2023, if not a little better.

Against a desperate Cowboys’ side last week, the Panthers were absolutely clinical, and they take huge confidence and momentum into this clash.

How about the Warriors, though? I expected some improvement, but certainly not the amount that saw them finish the regular season in the Top 4.

Andrew Webster has completely revitalised the club and I think that this is the best team that they have ever fielded – even better than the Grand Final teams of 2002 and 2011.

I think that the Panthers do win this, but Webster has key insight into the Penrith team and system, and I think the Warriors subsequently make a game of it.
