That’s the theme of Penrith’s play-offs campaign as Ivan Cleary’s back-to-back premiers aim to become the first team in the NRL era to win a grand final three-peat.

In what could end up being a preview of what awaits in week one of the post-season – with the two clubs every chance of meeting again next week – the Storm had to come from behind on three separate occasions at Suncorp Stadium and had too much class in the end.
