 Report: Panthers v. Rabbitohs A Grand Final place against Melbourne Storm awaited the winners of the game between the Penrith Panthers and South Sydney Rabbitohs. The Panthers were the big favourites after ending the regular season as runaway leaders on the ladder but only a fool would underestimate the South Sydney Rabbitohs as they looked for success from sixth place.
Both coaches made just one change. The Panthers coach Ivan Cleary had Mitch Kenny in place of Viliame Kikau, while Bunnies coach Wayne Bennett brought in Hame Sele for the injured Campbell Graham, a big loss for South Sydney.
The Panthers won both meetings during the regular season but that counted for little in knock-out rugby. The stage was set for a massive showdown in front of forty thousand spectators.
