Round 22 of the NRL premiership continues this evening with the Penrith Panthers hosting the Cronulla Sharks at BlueBet Stadium in Penrith. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:35pm (AEST).
Panthers duo Izack Tago and Spencer Leniu are battling leg injuries and have been rested. Matt Eisenhuth replaces Leniu in the pack while Tyrone Peachey again starts at centre for Tago.
Sharks forward Jesse Colquhoun is out this week on a dangerous contact charge but Nicho Hynes has only been fined for his trip on Tolu Koula in the loss to Manly.
Wade Graham was rested due to a slight toe problem on the weekend so he has been recalled for the clash with his old club.
Dale Finucane suffered a biceps injury on Sunday so his season is over while Braden Hamlin Uele is on the extended reserves list as he continues his recovery from a lower leg problem.
Prediction
It’s hard to see the Penrith machine being dismantled by a Sharks side which has been poor defensively in back-to-back losses to the Warriors and Manly. Panthers by 16

Amen brother.

Thanks HY. maybe it's me, but I see & feel it in many comments. I really don't hate any Club - just really dislike a few individuals.

I don’t think there is an anti Storm bias in Sydney. There is in the Sea Eagles’ mind. But that is a mixture of respect and regret. Club centered at Brookie, but not elsewhere that I can detect.

You are a good sport, Souvalis. I think it happens a bit more often than it should.

We aren't nearly as quick as Penrith, HY. It's split second timing, either way. It was a question, not an accusation. I, always, believe in playing to the whistle, so till you get caught. Doesn't the anti Storm bias still reign strong in Sydney.
Panthers

If it’s an off night at 28-0. Most teams would accept an off night. I’ve been a Panthers supporter for some years & like most supporters can remember a lot of very grim years. So to me, any win is a good win. Much better defence by Cronulla. Superb effort in defence by McInnes. Cronulla are usually excellent in attack. So good defence by Penrith. (Even with a player in the bin for 10.) South’s 27 versus Cronulla 18 Broncos 20 versus Cronulla 12 Doesn’t mean anything much Jimmy, but there you go.

I don't begrudge the top 3 sides their earnt privilege of getting the 50/50s.

Even though he left Saints, I'd still buy him a beer or three after that effort.

Melbourne 3 = 10. And the Officials are cool.

They push it and get called a fair bit but no more than Melbourne.

He doesn't need to take his wallet to the beer garden tonight.

I did not think the Panthers were that good with the ball. Without it they were superb. They need to get the clunks out before they play a decent team like the Broncs or South's.

Beaten, battered and bruised but the sharkies haven’t stopped trying tonight…which can’t be said of too many performances from them this year. Cam McInnes is the face of the performance tonight - 80+ tackles, legend!

On the positive side, if you’re a purist and like to see the game played properly, then Penrith deliver on the promise.
Stormy
Roar Rookie
No doubt, at all, the Panthers are fast, but are all of them always back the full 10 metres? I have my doubts - not always easy to judge on TV.

With the draw that the Sharks have had over the past two years, I wonder if Morris would’ve done a better job with this playing roster if they kept him.

He has been known to bring on the flippers.

Jessie’s dropped his share tonight.
