Paul Kent believes the Panthers’ premiership hopes are done and dusted after their shock 16-10 defeat at the hands of the Rabbitohs in the qualifying final.
The loss to Souths sees Penrith switch to the Storm’s side of the draw and leaves them having to beat the winner of the Eels and the Knights clash just to get a shot at a preliminary final against Melbourne. Speaking on Triple M Kent believes the Panthers played tired against South Sydney and doubts they will have enough gas in the tank to beat a well rested Storm outfit in the preliminary final provided they advance to that stage.
“They are done Penrith,” Kent said on Triple M.
“Look they played tired last night Gorden (Tallis).
“You go through the weekend. Melbourne put an absolute score on Manly. Melbourne rested a lot of players in the lead-up and Manly didn’t. And Melbourne played fresh.
“Then you’ve got last night and Gold Coast had a crack and they had a few players rested as well. They nearly pulled it off.
