The Panthers are presently riding one of the best winning streaks in rugby league history, having won their past 17 NRL games. This puts them just one game away from the championship, with only the Storm standing in their way. The last time the Panthers missed the finals was in 2008 when they fell at home to Melbourne. Their current run starts in round 19, 2010 when they defeated the New Zealand Warriors 24-4 at Penrith Stadium. Since then, they've never looked back as new coach Anthony Griffin has led them to victory in every game he's coached. The record streak is likely to end this weekend when they take on the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium. If the Panthers win, they'll be playing in their eighth straight final; a club record. Panthers team records include most consecutive wins (17), longest winning streak (12 games), and highest score against during a season (54-8 by scoring four tries vs South Sydney in 2011). Their worst loss came against the Canberra Raiders in round 3, 2003 when they suffered their first ever wooden spoon finishing with just 2 wins all year long. Former Panther Fred Jones is the man responsible for breaking the streak by scoring a try in each round during the season until finally defeating the Raiders 16-14 at Central Coast Stadium. He finished his career with 228 tries, which is currently ranked second all time behind Stacey Jones (238).
