To the champion goes the spoils - in this case the Panthers have had eight players selected in the Team of the Finals.

Headed by Clive Churchill Medal winner Nathan Cleary, Penrith have dominated the fan-selected side.

Penrith's forwards dominated this team, with Isaah Yeo, Viliame Kikau, James Fisher-Harris, Kurt Capewell and Api Koroiau all being voted in.

Beaten grand finalists South Sydney had four players selected, with Manly star Tom Trbojevic the only non-grand finalist to make the grade.
