Notes

^ Local time in Las Vegas.
^ Gilbert suffered a season-ending injury in Round 11. When available, vice captain Kaufusi thus filled in as captain for the rest of the season
^ Penrith's usual home ground, BlueBet Stadium, is not usable due to ongoing renovations
^ Murray suffered a season-ending injury in the pre-season. When available, Walker thus filled in as captain until he too suffered a season-ending injury in round 17. In the absence of both Murray and Walker, Latrell Mitchell captained the side.
