2021 NRL Premiers Penrith Panthers Edition Medallion & Stamp Cover PNC

The Penrith Panthers have beaten the South Sydney Rabbitohs 14-12 to become the 2021 NRL Premiers, avenging last year's loss to the Melbourne Storm and winning their first premiership since 2003.

On Sunday 3 October 2021, the Covid-19 restrictions limiting crown capacity to 75%, 39,322 fans attended the big game at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium - the first time the grand final has been played outside Sydney.

 The Panther's co-captain Nathan Cleary shone, successfully converting two tries, scoring a penalty goal and leading a dominant and sustained Panthers' attack from halfback.

For his efforts, and despite carrying a shoulder injury, Cleary took home the Clive Churchill Medal for best on ground (presented by his coach and premiership-winning father, Ivan Cleary).

From Matt Burton's opening score to Stephen Crichton's brilliant intercept try that broke the eight-all tie at the 27-minute mark of the second half, this was an electrifying and physical game, where the Panthers dominated possession, despite a few frustrating errors. 

The Rabbitohs also had shining moments, including Cody Walker bursting through the pack to score a memorable try midway through the first half and Cameron Murray's tackling dominance, but a missed Rabbitohs' field goal late in the game sealed a thrilling victory for the Premiers - a team that after two seasons at the top of its game has finally reaped the ultimate reward.

Includes an official Australia Post $1 stamp with the Penrith Panthers Logo.
