In team
The six Panthers players – Matt Burton, Brian To’o, Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo, Viliame Kikau and James Fisher-Harris – who were named in the Dally M Team of the Year on Monday. So should the Rabbitohs be worried about the grand final on Sunday?

Thought for today
“Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.” – Leonardo da Vinci.
