NRL Highlights: Cowboys v Panthers - Round 8

There’s a real big time atmosphere about this game. Here we go, it’s the Cowboys against the Panthers, the Cowboys back home. Penrith with the regular half back for the first time in a month. Kenny Yo Lui with room to run. Felt has come in the pass for toe and he gets over clinical start from Penrith. Oh in game 100. Scores an early try. Well that that got into Chester’s head didn’t it? But he he got it to Felt and Felt did very well now the short one and batted back Kenny. He scored a grand final try being a poacher but not this time. It’s geared in. They got a chance. It’s fella Bay. They’re over. It’s a North Queensland try. Penrith were interest in getting that ball back but the Cowboys get there first. Oh, we’ve got something on tonight. We’ve got something very, very special cooking here in Townsville. They’ve done so much defending. May, Lou Eye, Cleary Edwards, Edwards goes through, Edwards scores. They are a machine. They are relentless. They are in for their second try, crossing over for an important try against the runner play. So Edwards does it again in the last seven weeks has five tries as well as five try assists. If it doesn’t happen for them, the first couple of players, but they might get too close as Watson, McGee them did in the drink water. Drink innocent. Oh, it’s Alamotti, he’s away. Goodbye. Alamotti will score and it’s a disastrous ending for the North Queensland Cowboys trying to put on a try just before half time and it blows up in their face. Alamotti scores 2 weeks in a row and it blows the game open on the stroke of half time. He’s at 12 tackle busts already. The rest of the team, they’re playing pretty well at 11. Here’s the high kick here, which has Velamo back. Oh, he put it down and now Martin picks it up and scores. Penrith get an early second-half try. Velamo heard the footsteps, The footsteps of this man Liam Martin. It doesn’t look like the Cowboys are doing that here because now they’ve got four on the right side. Oh, they do. They go to the left but no deer then and oh slicing through Val Holmes. It’s just opened up and on the second attempt a little bit of a ride in and terrific tackle. Alamotti this time getting down low but he’s drink. What a shot. Side away to Finitayiaki. Here they come. That’s the second missed tackle that we’ve seen from Cleary, the first one coming on Valentine. Holmes close the line off a scrum that time against Fini Fuyaki. So play the ball. Not for the first time, Dearden Downs end Nanay steaming on the one and irresistible round and he’s over another for North QLD, who are steam rolling over the Panthers. This lead is shrinking at an alarming rate. No need to rush here with yo finding Kiri, Kiri turning it in. Yep, good tie. Or they can take a shot of goal here and make this a six point game. That’s pretty close to the post as well. The last time Penrith scored it was 24 four. That just gets them out to a six point lead. 2620 last play, 5 seconds left. Cleary, he can go to Grand here. It’s fine now. The siren sounds it is over. It is as gutsy as it gets for the Penrith Panthers. They have repelled wave after wave of North Queensland Cowboys attack 24 to 4. It was a matter of how far Penrith would win by.
