Thousands of loyal Penrith fans have packed into BlueBet Stadium to watch their side train ahead of Sunday’s Grand Final.
Fans were able to see the side train under the watchful eye of Ivan Cleary, before players posed for photos and signed autographs.
For many it will be the last time they’ll be at the stadium – which has already had a couple of farewells this year.
There is no certainty that Penrith will hold a celebration at the ground on Monday should they beat Melbourne – it may be forced elsewhere.
Club legends including 1991 Grand Final winners Greg Alexander and Royce Simmons were both at the event.
The fan day has become something of a tradition during Penrith’s Grand Final run.
After the fan day, the Panthers headed across the road to the Rugby League Academy where they were confronted with a throng of journalists.
Players took part in interviews with an array of media outlets, as coverage of Grand Final Week ramps up.
