Wild scenes as Penrith Panthers fans hit party long into the night after a fourth consecutive NRL premiership titles

Penrith Panthers fans partied into the night in Sydney’s west after their beloved football team claimed a fourth consecutive NRL premiership on Sunday.

The champions defeated Melbourne Storm 14-6 at Accor Australia to score three tries to one in their fifth consecutive grand final.

If anyone thought the ecstatic fans might be a little tired of winning every title since 2021, Sunday night’s photos told a different story.

There were wild scenes on the streets of Penrith with joy etched on every face among revelers proudly donning their Panthers jerseys.

Many fans raised four fingers for photographers, in case anyone was in any doubt as to how many times in a row the Panthers had won the premiership.

And many of those partying hard were also waving the iconic Penrith flag featuring the legendary western Sydney panther.

The delighted football tramps held their hands in the air as if they didn’t care – and with Monday being a public holiday in NSW, most of them don’t have to worry about work in the morning anyway.

Amid spontaneous bursts of dancing, the rhythm was kept up by men beating drums to keep time.

The police kept an eye on things to make sure the party didn’t get out of hand.

Mulgoa Road, one of the main arteries through the suburb, was the center of chaos as fans danced through the streets.

The wild panther that supposedly roams the local bushland – and after whom the team is named – may be elusive, but the fans are anything but.

They have the T-shirts and the flags, the replica jerseys and the huge grins on their faces that only winners can do.

On a balmy spring evening in Penrith, shorts proved very popular among men, while many women wore crop tops.

But the weather and choice of clothing wouldn’t have mattered if the players hadn’t given it their all and won again.

Earlier in the evening, fans flocked to the Panthers Rugby League Club to watch the match.

Thousands of people poured into the venue to ensure they had a chance to cheer their team to victory.

The side, coached by Ivan Cleary, became the first in six decades to win four consecutive premierships and the first in the NRL era.

With tries from Sunia Turuva, Liam Martin and Paul Alamoti, and a Nathan Cleary conversion, the Panthers were too strong for the Storm.

Cleary, 26, played a major role in the fight, although almost as much talk was about his football star girlfriend Mary Fowler.

The Penrith playmaker didn’t have Fowler in the stadium to cheer him on as he played for Manchester City on the other side of the world, but thanks to her many fans watched the match.

“Shout out to Mary Fowler’s partner about another premiership win,” one fan posted full-time on social media.

On a glorious night in front of 80,156 fans at Accor Stadium, the Panthers became the first team to win four consecutive premierships since St George won 11 in a row between 1956 and 1966.

Sunday’s victory cemented their status as one of the greatest sides of the modern era, while their fans’ celebrations also cemented their status.

The historic victory comes after NRL fans felt a wave of embarrassment after realizing tickets were still available less than an hour before kick-off.

There were several outbreaks of mass dancing as excited fans celebrated a fourth straight title for the Panthers

It’s going to be a long night of celebration for Penrith Panthers fans.

Fans noticed on social media on Sunday that there were still many unsold tickets for the NRL night of nights.

With the kick-off set for 7:30 PM, people who think they missed out on a ticket can still get one at 6:30 PM on the official Ticketek website.

The cheapest ticket retailed for $199, while the more expensive packages ranged from $289 to $409.

ABC Sports commentator Brett Sprigg couldn’t believe tickets were still on sale.

“I’ve lived in Sydney for a while and love rugby league, but the AFL side of my brain can’t understand why a grand final isn’t sold out,” he wrote.

Many other NRL fans were also surprised to hear the grand final was not sold out.

‘There are still plenty of tickets available for tonight’s NRL grand final. That’s embarrassing,” one person said.

Another added that the price wasn’t the reason people didn’t go to the game
