Throughout the season, The Western Weekender has been profiling the Penrith Panthers cheerleaders, and readers have been voting on their favourites each week. Now down to eight finalists it’s up to Panthers fans to pick the ultimate winner! Check out the videos of the eight Cheerleader of the Year finalists – and vote for your favourite by sending an SMS to 19 19 18 with the name of your entry.

What’s your favourite pig-out spot? Sushi Bay
What’s the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to you whilst cheering/dancing? During a game where it had been raining, after the Panthers had scored we all got up to dance and cheer on the players and I slipped over on the wet grass
If you could morph into any animal, which would you choose and why? I would have to say an eagle because they are huge powerful birds that can handle their own, and of course flying would be a novelty
