KICK OFF! Penrith receive.

Panthers are out... Cows to follow led by captain Gavin Cooper who will play his 250th game.

Can the Cowboys lift without JT? Or will the Panthers claim 5 straight? Look for Matt Moylan to kick a late field goal to give Penrith a 23-22 win.

Good afternoon and welcome to today's clash between the Cowboys and Panthers! No JT for the home side with Kyle Laybutt to replace him in the No. 7 jersey. Penrith are 1-17.
