The premiers have won four on the trot and enter Round 19 on the back of a bye and a stunning victory over the Bulldogs.

That 8-6 triumph in Round 17 had finals football written all over it as the Panthers' big guns stood tall to remind everyone that their quest for a fifth straight title is very much alive.

If the Panthers are to keep the roll going much will depend on how Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin, Dylan Edwards and Brian To'o come through Origin Three and whether they back up.

The Eels will have a keen eye on how star winger Zac Lomax comes through Wednesday night's decider as his aerial ability is critical to their chances of avenging an 18-10 loss to Penrith in Round 13.
