Even though the Brisbane Broncos had a major effect on the standard of play and the popularity of the local club competition, Wests were runners-up in 1991, and Premiership winners in 1992 and 1993, before again being runners up in 1994.

At seasons' end the Broncos, who had had a feeder club arrangement in place with Wests for the previous few years, pulled out and linked with the Aspley Devils.

In 2009 the meteoric rise of the club back to the big time continued with a memorable 30–24 win over arch rivals Redcliffe in the Fogs Cup (reserve grade) Grand Final.

Played at Stockland Park, Kawana the Panthers proved to tough for the Dolphins overcoming a 24–22 deficit to claim the title.

As part of the restructure, the club planned to be based out of its spiritual home Purtell Park, which had undergone somewhat of an upgrade.

On 26 September 2014, the team was announced to be revived as part of the new Brisbane Rugby League, set to commence in 2015, and replace the FOGS Cup.

[1] In the new BRL, clubs were started (in some cases revived) by existing QRL teams, and West Brisbane Panthers commenced as a development side for Norths Devils.

They currently play out of Frank Lind Oval (home of junior side Wests Mitchelton) and various grounds affiliated with Norths.
