Show Preview
A Nathan Cleary-less Penrith Panthers are still a formidable force for the New Zealand Warriors to take on as they attempt to keep their flickering finals hopes alive. Join The Roar for live scores from 8:05pm (AEST) as Sunday footy kicks off.
It’s an old-fashioned double header at Lang Park today, with this match immediately preceding the afternoon’s Broncos-Tigers clash.
Minus Cleary in the halves, the Panthers look a touch vulnerable – though it’s hard to gauge that from a single-match sample size. They still bested the third-placed Eels by a solitary point in that match, though, so it’s clear Ivan Cleary’s team are still one of the premiership favourites.
Minus Cleary as well as Jarome Luai through injury, Dylan Edwards returns to the fullback slot, with Charlie Staines shifting back to his usual wing.
The Warriors will be two games and points differential out of the eight if they drop this one, so it’s unsurprising Nathan Brown has made plenty of changes. Tohu Harris, Chad Townsend and Euan Aitken have all been shuffled into the starting 13, making their line-up look a touch chaotic.
Halves pairing Kodi Nikorima and Sean O’Sullivan have both paid the price for an ordinary game in defeat to the Sharks last week – they’ll both be riding the pine to start this one.
