The Penrith Panthers face the Parramatta Eels in a clash that could very well decide which team ends up with the 2012 NRL wooden spoon. Join us for live scores and commentary from 7:30pm AEST.
Parramatta and Penrith have both experienced below par campaigns in 2012 and will be desperate to emerge victorious tonight in a match both sides will fancy winning.
The Panthers were totally outplayed by the Titans last week, losing 36-18 in a match that was over by halftime.
Parramatta on the other hand was competitive against South Sydney, but still looked devoid of ideas in attack as they succumbed 24-6 to the Rabbitohs.
The loss keeps Stephen Kearney’s men rooted to the bottom of the NRL ladder and another defeat here could very well spell the end of Kearney’s reign as Eels head coach.
In good news for Penrith, Origin stars Luke Lewis and Tim Grant make their way back into the side after withdrawing from last week’s clash against the Gold Coast.
Grant and Lewis have been the shining lights for the Panthers this season and hold the key to victory against the Eels tonight.
Lewis is one of the best attacking forwards in the game and will look to cause havoc against Parramatta’s weak edge defence.
Grant meanwhile has established himself as one of the NRL’s leading props and is coming off a terrific State of Origin debut for NSW last Wednesday.
If Grant can pick up from where he left off last Wednesday, the Panthers should be able to dominate an Eels pack that has severely struggled to lay a platform upfront this season.
For the Eels to win tonight, they will have to replicate their performance against Cronulla a fortnight back.
On that occasion, Parramatta produced their best half of football this season to overturn a 20-6 deficit into a 29-20 victory.
That particular comeback from Parramatta came right down to attitude and the Eels showcased plenty of it to get back into the game and secure a great win.
Such attitude however struggled to rear its head against the Rabbitohs, so it will be interesting to see which Eels side manages to turn up tonight.
If Parramatta can play at their best, the Eels should have the Panthers covered when it comes to scoring points, with Sandow, Hayne and Tonga all capable of causing havoc tonight.
Another slow start from the Eels however and it will be the Panthers who run out victors for only the fifth time this season.

My top four would be Ryan Morgan, Jarryd Hayne, Nathan Hindmarsh and Fui Fui Moi Moi. Coote was also admirable for Penrith tonight

Wow. Nice to hear something come off for Hindy, Sandow, and the Eels, particularly with CS leaving the bunnies for $10K plus per week (and all the pressure that brings). Who would you say would be the top 3 players on the field tonight?

The Eels have secured their third win of the season by defeating the Panthers 19-18 in golden point after trailing 18-6 in the second half. The Eels displayed a lot of attitude to get back in the contest after it appeared that Penrith were going to hold on for a win. Burt and Hayne however scored good tries courtesy of great work from Moi Moi and Hindmarsh respectively. The Eels then dominated the latter stages of the second half and went into golden point with all the momentum. Parramatta were then denied a try to Sio in Golden point but it matters little now as Sandow stepped up to the plate and secured the win for the Eels tonight. Overall it was a good contest between two teams desperate to avoid the wooden spoon. Can the Eels back up next week? Can the Panthers bounce back? Thanks for joining us for this live NRL blog and we look forward to your company next time on The Roar.

GOLDEN POINT:
It was razzle dazzle football to finish off regular time here as Hayne chipped ahead and Coote regathered possession to signal the end of a frantic second half. Penrith looked to have it won at 18-6 but Parramatta came to life with two great tries to Burt and Hayne. Eels with the momentum here and are my favourites to win this.

The Eels and Panthers are locked at six all in an entertaining but scrappy contest. Penrith started very well and were rewarded with a try to Lewis. Penrith continued to dominate possession and territory and had many sets on Parramatta’s line but failed to break through. The Eels then began to dominate the back half of the first stanza and were rewarded with a great try to Morgan who raced away down the sideline to score and equalise. Its all to play for in the second half infront of a good crowd in Penrith. Who will win?

Penrith have started very well Walter and all the momentum is with them. If Hayne and Sandow can click however, I think the Eels have the firepower to win tonight. It will be a close game though. Penrith are playing well though.

The Panthers have been all over the Eels in the opening ten minutes and should be infront. Eels need to respond here.

Is it just me or do the Pink Panthers looking like the Broncos last night? The trouble with League is, if you put them all in the same jumpers, it would be hard to tell which team is which. There is a sameness about the game.

4′ – Hayne finds touch with a kick and the Eels can regroup in defence here. There is a good crowd in at Penrith despite the position of both teams on the NRL ladder. No love lost between these two sides.
