Revenge might well be on the minds of Penrith Panthers when they host Canberra Raiders at Glen Willow Oval on Saturday morning.
It was Canberra who raided Glen Willow Oval last term, with a golden-point victory being referred to as the 'Mudgee Miracle'.
Penrith have been somewhat hit and miss in recent weeks in the NRL, but, with a strong record against the Raiders, the Panthers look ready to show their claws again this weekend.
