So far, the 2025 NRL<\/a> finals series has proven to be one for the ages.<\/p>\n Whether it be the minor premiers being knocked out in straight sets, golden point thrillers or the travelling Cronulla Sharks<\/a> fans sending the Canberra Raiders<\/a> home with their own rendition of the Viking clap.<\/p>\n Each week has delivered something unforgettable.<\/p>\n However, as the dust settles, only four teams remain and three games are left until one of them raises the Provan-Summons Trophy and etches themselves into NRL<\/a> history.<\/p>\n Each club has its own story and each club has a chance, but how good a chance is the real question.<\/p>\n So, let’s look at the probability of them winning the 2025 NRL<\/a> Grand Final.<\/p>\n 1. Penrith Panthers<\/p>\n The favourites.<\/p>\n After comfortable wins against the Warriors and Bulldogs so far in the finals, the Penrith Panthers<\/a> are well on track to make it six grand final appearances in as many years.<\/p>\n There is so much going in favour of Ivan Cleary’s men that it’d be hard to say they won’t win the competition.<\/p>\n They have done it before, four times in a row, to be exact.<\/p>\n The squad is at full strength, with the decision to rest the whole side in Round 26 a masterstroke and they have the best in the game, Nathan Cleary<\/a>, currently in scintillating form.<\/p>\n Why can’t they win it, though?<\/p>\n Travel.<\/p>\n The Panthers are the most travelled team left in the competition after flying to Auckland, back to Sydney and now Brisbane for their preliminary finals clash against the Broncos, which, if they win, will see them then travel back to Sydney for the grand final.<\/p>\n
