Penrith Panthers Latest News & Tips
Best Penrith Panthers bets for NRL 2023
There are dozens of NRL futures markets for Penrith, but where are they likely to return some real value?
Click on the tabs below to get more analysis on these markets:
- The Panthers come into the 2023 Telstra Premiership favourites at $4 and could not be more deserving. The way the Panthers dismantled the Eels, arguably the second best team in the NRL, in the 2022 Grand Final was remarkable and the score line was not a true reflection of how that game panned out. While cases can be made for sides to challenge the Panthers on paper, it will be hard to do in reality, and $4 to win the premiership could be value heading into the 2023 NRL season.
- The Panthers are currently $1.36 favourites to finish in the top four and could be the safest bet of the year. While there is no value in the price, it’s any easy leg for multi’s for any punter looking to build a big price.
- The changes on the left edge of the Panthers attack will now pose a new threat for opposition defences to handle. With Viliame Kikau out of the second row position, to be replaced by either Luke Garner or Zac Hosking, there will be more emphasis on the combination of Izack Tago and Taylan May. Tago will likely play a big role, getting the ball in his hands earlier, which should provide even more opportunities for May to score. May is a serious threat to Brian To’o of being the team’s top try scorer.

Panthers players to watch in 2023
Soni Luke
Born: 25/02/1996
Games: 4
Tries: 0
Position: Hooker
Soni Luke will not likely have the starting hooker role at the Panthers in the 2023 season, but play a much more important impact role off the bench. Luke showed in the 2021 World Cup in England for Tonga he can set up tries, line break assists and offloading the football for second phase play. Although his playing style id different to Koroisau, Luke is a very good attacking hooker who will fill the void left in this Panthers spine.
Luke Garner
Born: 06/09/1995
Games: 75
Tries: 23
Position: 2nd Row
Luke Garner comes to the Panthers, most likely to replace Kikau, as the victim of a very poor Wests Tigers outfit of many years. As he has progressed in his career, Garner has improved his line running ability, his attacking ability and work rate in attack and defence. Garner can only improve further going to a much better Panthers system, and one of the best attacking left edges in the game. The sky is the limit for Garner in 2023.
Dylan Edwards
Born: 10/01/1996
Games: 105
Tries: 30
Position: Fullback
Dylan Edwards will again be the man for the Panthers who puts in enormous work with his kick returns to put them on the front foot early in their sets. The work he does makes the job of the forwards easier as he cuts down the distance they have to travel to get back onside and involved in the game. Edwards ball playing improved throughout 2022 and should continue in 2023, adding another string to his incredible bow at fullback.

- The Penrith Panthers were one of three teams vying for admission to the New South Wales Rugby League in 1967. The others were the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and the Wentworthville Magpies. Maybe it was only because Western Suburbs already had ownership of the black and white, but the Panthers and the Sharks got the nod.
Penrith’s outer-west location proved problematic in the early years. The league’s best players preferred to stay and play in the inner city and beachside suburbs, so the Panthers had little choice but to develop their own talent at grassroots level. Those efforts began to pay dividends in 1985 when the likes of Greg Alexander and Royce Simmons helped the club to its first-ever finals campaign.
The best was yet to come. Sustained improvement in the late ’80s allowed Penrith to attract star talents such as Brad Fittler, Mark Geyer and John Cartwright. A maiden NRL Grand Final appearance arrived in 1990, but it was the Canberra Raiders who emerged victorious on that occasion. The mourning period was a short one, however, and in 1991 the Panthers broke their duck and reaped revenge all at once with a 19-12 win over the Raiders.
Penrith have endured plenty of ups and downs since then. The likes of Fittler and Geyer left the club soon after the ’91 flag, while coach Phil Gould only lasted until ’94. A second premiership arrived in 2003.
Since 2019 the Panthers have comeback firing and have now secured back-to-back premiership wins in 2021 & 2022. They look to be close competitors to secure the hat-trick in 2023.
