Hello and welcome to LeagueUnlimited's coverage of Friday Night Football and first up tonight we're at Panthers Stadium to see if Penrith can continue their red hot run of form against the Sharks. The home side are 1-17 from the side named earlier in the week while Shaun Johnson is a late withdrawal but is only expected to miss 1-2 weeks. Braydon Trindall comes in to replace him at halfback, while Toby Rudolf will start at prop, shifting Braden Hamlin-Uele to the bench and Scott Sorensen to start at lock. If the Panthers can win, it will be the first time they have ever beaten a Sharks side containing Matt Moylan. Just over 5 minutes until kick-off now
