VISA WORLD CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

 

>

A pool competition during the one season of Super League in which each of the Australasian Super League teams played 3 teams from the European Super League in a home and away format. The Super League season had two windows in which the premiership was suspended - Penrith travelled to the UK in June for their 3 away matches, and then in July and August hosted their 3 return matches for three consecutive weeks at home.

 

>

Penrith was placed in Australasian Pool A, containing six teams alongside five other Australasian Super League teams, with each of these teams drawn to play three of the six teams from the European Super League teams who were placed in European Pool A - the Panthers were drawn to play Bradford, St. Helens and Warrington.

 

>

Each of the two Pool A groups had separate tables, with the top three teams from each of the Australasian and European Pools reaching the qualifying finals. Despite winning all six matches across both stages, Penrith finished fourth, with a points differential 40 points less than third placed Cronulla.
