Full-Time: Panthers 18 def Warriors 6
Cleary finds the sideline as he's booed by the QLD crowd.
Warriors go short and it's taken by Edwards.
No good.
That might just seal it for the Panthers. A great offload from Cleary found Edwards who broke open before kicking to Hosking who was taken metres from the line. From the ensuing play, the rampaging Spencer Leniu crashed over to score the game sealing try.
Oh no... Sunia Turuva puts it down with the line wide open.
PENALTY PANTHERS: It was ruled to be a shoulder charge against Addin Fonua-Blake.
Last tackle was poor from the Panthers.
Vintage SJ running on the last. Clever grubber kick and the Wahs get another set.
Yeo puts it down
Demitric Sifakula has been determined to have struck Nathan Cleary. He's been dispatched to the sin-bin.
Bit of a push and shove. Curran was smashed by Salmon and Leniu. Cleary might've got in there too
To'o takes the bomb but it was the last and he's tackled.
This is where the independent doctor oversteps for a lot of people. That's ridiculous for DWZ to leave the game right there.
DWZ down holding his nose. He'll play on
How did he do that! Sunia Turuva escapes!
Turuva can't get out of the in-goal. Line dropout to come.
SIX AGAIN WARRIORS: Slow peel Moses Leota.
Turuva loses it.
Tohu Harris dives on the footy and the attacking phase in the second half has been a bit diabolical.
Warriors have a clamaity on the last.
Warriors regain possession. Belinda Sharpe in the best position there.
CNK bats it dead and it'll be another set for Penrith
Bit surprised Penrith took the 2 with the one man advantage.
Cleary's shot is in off the upright. 14-6.
Hip drop detected by Todd Smith and Ford is GONE!
Spencer Leniu down hurt.
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad loses the ball after a good offload from Tom Ale.
Mitch Kenny... oh no! Loses it stone cold.
SIX MORE PENRITH x 2 : Ruck infringement
Cleary forces another goal line dropout.
Penrith will hand it over.
Montoya picks up a grubber before an amazing tackle by Nathan Cleary.
Both sides get through their opening sets. Brave effort from Ed Kosi with ice on that knee. Suspected fractured knee cap.
Off we go. Todd Smith gets us back underway. Penrith to retain possession to start the second half.
Half-Time: Penrith 12 leading Warriors 6.
Cleary went for 2 points and missed.
Ford loses the football in the contact.
Smith loses the ball.
Penrith lose 20m on the last and will change it overs.
Poor kick from Johnson! Gets the Panthers off the hook.
TRY SAVER FROM TURUVA!
So Niukore to centre, Montoya to WING. Curran to backrow
PENALTY WARRIORS: High tackle and finally Ed Kosi is coming from.
Warriors need to pull Edward Kosi here.
Cleary's kick is successful. 12-6.
Penrith shift it to the right. Yeo and Cleary combined which allowed Dylan Edwards to draw in the Warriors defence and Brian To'o crosses out wide.
Montoya can't haul it in.
Penrith getting another set.
SIX AGAIN PANTHERS: Inside 10
Walker gets revenge now. Zac Hosking is sat down!
Crichton gets REVENGE! Dylan Walker got OBLITERATED
Ed Kosi struggling out the wing. I suspect a reshuffle here.
PENALTY WARRIORS: Moses Leota is not square.
Penrith convert their set post points.
Cleary converts and it's 6-6.
Over go the Panthers. They've had a big share of possession down this end and it's Dylan Edwards who steps his way through some would be tacklers to score.
SIX MORE PENRITH: Hand on Ball
PENALTY PENRITH: Pompey knocks it on, Bunty Afoa picks it up in an offside position.
Great call from the officials and it's play on!
SHOT! EDWARD KOSI HAS SMASHED HIM!
Yeo almost gets there!
PENALTY PENRITH: High tackle by Marata Niukore.
Shaun Johnson is growing in confidence. Penrith struggling to get any ascendency following their early red-zone possession.
These Warriors are growing in confidence. Playing really well to start against a Penrith side that is going through the motions quite frankly.
Warriors complete their set after points.
Johnson adds the extras and it's 6-0.
The Warriors score first points. Following the penalty, they've run great shape. After being denied a play before, great ball-playing from Tohu Harris sees Addin Fonua-Blake charge through a gaping hole.
PENALTY WARRIORS: A strong carry from Marcelo Montoya is rewarded after Isaah Yeo hangs on too long.
Ford breaks through but is run down by Turuva. Last tackle kick isn't the best from Johnson and Peachey recovers.
Penrith's left edge isn't as fluent as the past. This has been quite abysmal.
Walker's kick is charged down and Crichton runs away with it!
Turuva loses the ball. If he held it, it's 4-0.
Luai kicks early and Penrith bomb good field position...
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad ruled to have knocked on. Challenge is successful
CHALLENGE PENRITH - On field ruling of ruck interference.
Both sides are able to get through their opening sets.
We're underway. Todd Smith blows his whistle and Super Saturday from Magic Round is off and running. The Warriors are running from left to right and will have the ball first.
Todd Smith is the man in control today (Warriors have a 1-3 record under him, Penrith a 2-2 record). Phil Henderson and Belinda Sharpe are the touch judges. Chris Butler is in the bunker.
Super Saturday is coming to you from a sunny Suncorp Stadium with a surprisingly big game for both the Warriors and the Panthers in the 3pm slot. The Warriors have been the 2023 surprise packets with strong performances in every match and dealing with a swag of adversity along the way. Penrith are always strong, however, they have felt the heat of being the hunted this season and that was on show after their poor showing against the Tigers. On the team front, Lussick will start at hooker for the Warriors today, Egan will return via the bench for Sironen in an otherwise unchanged 17. Penrith welcomes back Spencer Leniu from injury, which sees Liam Henry drop out of the side.
