The young Panthers played an early exhibition game against founding franchise Davies Bulldogs before making their Trifecta Cup debut in Trifecta cup 4. The Panthers stunned the backyard sporting world by making a cinderella run to the Final before falling short to the Bulldogs. While Trifecta 5 was a disappointment, as the Panthers went winless on their way to a wooden spoon finish, they rebounded spectacularly and made their second grand final appearance in three Trifecta Cups in Trifecta 6. The Panthers temporarily disbanded between Trifectas 7-10 before returning at Trifecta 11.

Colours and Identity
After confirmation that the JRose Trifecta bid was accepted the club allowed fans to vote on social media on the new clubs nickname and colours. The Panthers nickname won ahead of the "JRose Magic." The Panthers use a black, silver and light blue colour scheme.

Rivalries
The Panthers have struck up some fierce rivalries.

Davies Bulldogs
The Panthers share a local Southern derby with the Bulldogs known as the Kmart Klash. There have been two grand final meetings between the pair, both falling the Bulldogs way.

Middleton Tigers
The Panthers/Tigers rivalry is one of the fiercest rivalries in the league. The animosity is thought to have begun well before a ball was bowled when the Panthers controversially chose to use a colour scheme extremely similar to that of the then Middleton Power. The colour clash caused uproar with fans and clubs alike before the Power were forced to eventually rebrand to solve the clash. The two clubs are also known for having some of the worst haircuts in the competition and therefore need to compensate by flogging each other.

On-field the rivalry is even stronger. The Panthers stunned the Tigers in both of their clashes during Trifecta 4 including a pulsating elimination final, before the Tigers evened the ledger at the DCG in Trifecta 5.

The two clubs are known to use social media to create banter between each other and the fans of the clubs.
