NRL: Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary and Nathan Cleary front the media after their Round 20 golden point win over the Dolphins.
Are the Broncos back? They sure looked at their brilliant best at times in the win over the Knights, with Reece Walsh and the returning Adam Reynolds starring.
“I wanted to take some steps in the right direction,” Walsh said following his Knights masterclass in which he scored a solo try and set up two others.“I am glad I have awesome players like ‘Reyno’, Patty and Billy Walters who back me and give me that confidence.” But now they’ve got their best side on the park, with Selwyn Cobbo to return next week, they’ll be feeling confident about going on a run – and the bookies still have them as fourth favourite to win the competition.“Together they are really dynamic.”
If that happens, expect the drums to start beating on Walters who will be under immense pressure to keep his job.It was another dazzling display from the Sea Eagles on Sunday afternoon, with Manly in blistering form for the second straight week. However, a Luke Brooks, Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans masterclass proved the difference as the trio combined to smash the Gold Coast in a brilliant final 50 minutes.“We definitely missed the jump against a side that plays really good attacking football and that obviously showed in the statistics, so we were lucky to keep them to two tries,” the Sea Eagles skipper said.
Brooks, who after debuting in 2013, remains the longest serving player to not feature in a finals game. Seibold also fired a warning to opposition sides, believing the best is yet to come from the Brooks and Cherry-Evans combo.

The Tigers are still doing it tough, but their future is bright.Yes, they lost a shootout, but the youngsters combined sensationally at times on Saturday afternoon.
While Da Silva has had limited opportunities this season due to being behind captain Api Koroisau on the depth chart, the 19-year-old has shown a willingness for the contest and a craftiness out of dummy-half which is opponents have found it hard to defend against. The Raiders were outscored four tries to three, but a shocking night off the tee by Warriors kicker Chanel Harris-Tavita cost his side victory.
“I’ve got belief in these boys and that’s my job. I’m not in the business of picking and choosing, I’ve got belief in these guys and we had an off night and won. Blues heroes Isaah Yeo, Brian To’o, Jarome Luai and Liam Martin were all rested for the Dolphins clash, although Penrith did get back star halfback Nathan Cleary - a massive in.
“It wasn’t looking good halfway through the second half but to be able to get that win while giving the Origin boys a break, I was pretty happy with that decision.PENRITH, AUSTRALIA - JULY 21: Nathan Cleary of the Panthers celebrates kicking the match winning field goal in golden point during the round 20 NRL match between Penrith Panthers and Dolphins at BlueBet Stadium on July 21, 2024 in Penrith, Australia.
