The Eels won both matches during the regular season, but the Panthers gained revenge with a 27-6 victory in the Qualifying Final.
Penrith Panthers Form
The Panthers ended the season in mixed form, but the absence of Nathan Cleary was a big contributing factor.
Cleary has been the man to drive Penrith to victories over Parramatta Eels 27-8 in the Qualifying Final and South Sydney Rabbitohs 32-12 in the Preliminary Final.

Verdict
Penrith haven't be fluent in the NRL Finals yet, but they put away the Eels by 21 points and Rabbitohs by 20 points. I'm backing the reigning champions to be crowned premiers once again by covering the line. Grand Finals don't tend to be high-scoring affairs, so back the unders.
