Penrith, the early history: A second premiership 1982/83
This was a truly amazing performance, the team's points score being a margin of 30 clear of their nearest rivals. Their 12 consecutive wins were a record for the club in any grade and would take some beating in the summers to come. In a sensible move, the NSWCA had decided that all Finals were to be at neutral grounds. Penrith's Semi-final was against Randwick at the Uni of NSW's Village Green but a wash out propelled the club into the Final against Bankstown at Hurstville Oval.
