Penrith's golden run finally came to an end this season as they fell to Brisbane in the preliminary finals.
The Panthers had claimed the last four titles in a row during an unprecedented period of success in the NRL and put themselves firmly in the picture for a fifth when they faced the Broncos.
However, after climbing off the bottom of the ladder at the midway point of the campaign and finishing in seventh spot, they won two finals fixtures before their winning streak was snapped.
