You'd have to say that penalty finally puts the nail in the coffin. Dolphins should head in for a point to finalize the result.

No try, ruled off Bostock. Penrith may get a chance off the drop out.

We head to the video! Chip over the top, looks to have gone dead.

Probably the best positiong Hamiso has had all season at the back tonight. He's been everywhere. Line drop out.

Knock down from the Winger Isaako. Bostock with one of the better 1-on-1 tackles we've seen by a winger on Izack Tago. Fresh set here for Penrith.

Great contest to the footy between the two number 1's. Gilbert arrives late to the tackle in the opinion of G.Atkins. 4 tries in 12 and half minutes. We've seen stranger things..

Panthers are saved some embarrassment. Katoa laying in the ruck, could of been a try to Averillo. Need to keep up with the clock to tie it.

Would've loved to see Katoa send that deep and chase. Penrith with half decent field position. Can they do something with the footy? The answer is no.. Casey with the error

I can't fault the Dolphins defense, they have been outstanding especially on the goalline. But it feels like we've all gone in a time capsule to 2019.

Brian To'o showed on camera. Normally smiling, does not look amused at all. Really have missed him.

Bostock and Tabuai-Fidow great awareness in the corner to put Alamoti out. Penrith have had chances at the goaline and cannot get anything for profit.

Back to back penalties for Penrith on the goaline. 1 for an escort, another for a somewhat dangerous tackle.

Quite honestly, it looks like Penrith are having a bad dream where they're playing the first 20 minutes of the second half in the 2023 grand final and they can't wake up.

Katoa with a graceful little grubber to force the line dropout.

Back underway! Panthers down by 12 staring down the barrel of 5 straight losses.

We did see Jeremy Marshall-King streaming with blood late in the half. Did not come from the field.

Catch your breath! What an exhilaratingend to the first half with a charged down 2pt field goal. Great half from the Dolphins who lead by 12.

Interesting in that 10 minutes whilst Alamoti was off the field. Yeo defended on the right edge, Martin in the middle. Talagi with ANOTHER error for Penrith. Great field position for the Phins.

Cleary trying to do everything for Penrith here. Josh Kerr says welcome to my shoulders mate! Error forced, Dolphins continue to build pressure

Cleary and the right side funnily enough with 1 less defender looked better there! Set ends for the Phins 5 out from the Panthers line. Henry onto the park.

Contact to the head, no intent to wrap and moderate force. Alamoti sits down for 10 minutes!

I'm lost for words. Surely that kick did not come off the way he wanted it too. Dolphins back to back penalties, firstly a push off the footy and now Alamoti with a high tackle. Could be in trouble....

Dolphins still have only had 1 tackle in Penriths half of the field. Panthers have had 5 complete sets.

Dolphins goaline defence has been rather scrappy to boot.

I must say, Panthers are finding plenty of space on the Dolphins edges but cannot come up with that final pass. A much humanized Penrith outfit weve seen in the opening rounds of the competition.

Grubber from Cleary ALMOST comes off. Tabuai-Fidow shields it, Herbie bats it dead off the second effort. Line dropout goes to Edwards who gets dragged to touch for a penalty. Penrith camping in the Redzone

Cleary targets Martin with a shallow cross field kick. Dolphins snuff it out. Now just outside the 20 on tackle 4.

6 to go for Penrith. Great charge down from Plath though. Won't be the first time tonight we see that

Tough start to the night for Dan Saifiti. 2 Errors to begin. Panthers back inside the Dolphins half.

Bostock absolutely belted by Liam Martin. Alamoti with the unneeded flop resulting in a penalty.

Up to the video, great defensive effort from the Hammer and Isaako. Jenkins goes out into touch. Phins avert danger early

No intent to strip ruled. Panthers on the hunt

Saifiti spills it inside 15 seconds! Or does he? captains challenge for the phins

Good evening everyone! Here we are for Thursday Night Footy! Dolphins host the Panthers for the first time @ Suncorp as the Panthers look to dig themselves out of a 4 game losing streak. As for the Phins, Isaiya Katoa plays game 50 against the club he was raised by. Lets have some fun!
