Yes, the media this morning has observed no team has won a fourth premiership from outside the top four.

The Panthers have 31 points and can only reach 35 points (to overtake the Warriors already on 34 points) by winning their last two games.

BUT.

The warriors play the Eels this week then the Sea Eagles next week.

And ... Both the Broncos and Sharks are already on 32 points. So, if they win both of their games, then the Panthers won't make it to the top four.
