While Melbourne, this season's minor premiers, have been the NRL's best and most consistent team over the past decade, reigning champions Penrith have completely overshadowed them by becoming the first team in more than half a century to reach five consecutive Grand Finals.

That run, incidentally, started in 2020, when they were beaten by none other than Melbourne. The Storm also won both regular season meetings, but that's not to say that the Panthers haven't made their mark too. Penrith have knocked Melbourne out of contention in two of the past three seasons.
