Whatever bro. I’ve been a dogs fan since the 80s. Stop deflecting and back up your bullshit take bro. No one who knows anything about football would think the panthers team is not top 5 nrl era
They are still a top 5 NRL era team regardless, in my opinion they've done enough to be either one or two... But there is a fair mitigation. Two of their grand final were under pandemic affected seasons. And they could say 2022 was still a recovery season, especially for the warriors.
And if you see where the warriors are now, you could say that's proof that at the very least, they were one less club for the Panthers had to worry about, due non footy reasons.
I think you can only play what's in front of you, so as I wrote, best or second in the NRL era
