penrith panthers team 2020

The Penrith Panthers have a four-point lead atop of the NRL ladder and one hand on the minor premiership after a 30-6 thrashing of Wests Tigers. "The boys dug deep tonight and I'm really proud of them. "You can see the effort there - it's about having that effort week in and week out," he said. Hardly a season-defining moment.Making matters worse, this week it came after Penrith moved more than one game clear of second place by winning its 10th straight, against a Cronulla team that was trying to jump from seventh to fifth, with three victories' worth of breathing space between it and the teams outside the eight.It was a hugely important game with regards to the make-up of the finals.Since that round six game, they've had a Thursday and two Sundays on Nine, with the other five games only available on pay TV or an online subscription like Kayo or NRL TV.Brisbane, on the other hand, with all its one win from the past 12 games, has had four free-to-air Fridays in that time, plus the clash with the Dragons.Brisbane is a one-team town in rugby league heartland and as such draws a big audience, which means higher ratings and more potential for advertising revenue.It remains a disappointing fact of a unique NRL season that the league and broadcasters either felt they couldn't afford to be more adventurous with their scheduling, or simply decided not to bother.When the NRL released its revised draw after the coronavirus shutdown, albeit with Brisbane sitting pretty at 2-0 alongside Penrith, it flagged the Broncos-Cowboys game as part of "a bumper final round", seemingly forgetting that it's no longer 2015.Aside from the experience for fans watching from home, the Panthers themselves have been dudded by the inconsistency of being a team apparently undeserving of prime time.The Broncos' 2020 games are almost exclusively free-to-air outings on Thursday or Friday night, save for Saturday games in rounds seven, eight, nine, 14 and 18.It hasn't done them any good results-wise this year, but no Sunday games means no short turnarounds and 100 per cent night games means consistency of conditions.The Broncos may be the NRL's worst team for the first time and they seem unsure how to turn it around, writes Jon Healy.At no point have they even been asked to go from one of those rare Saturday games into a Thursday night clash, but the Panthers will have to do exactly that between round 16 and 17, coincidentally so they can make a rare free-to-air appearance against, of course, Brisbane.That's one of just two remaining regular season Panthers games that will feature on Channel Nine.The other is a round 18 clash with third-placed Parramatta, which will no doubt be billed as a titanic showdown between two league heavyweights from the lucrative, league-loving Western Sydney region.But Penrith hasn't been treated that way and is within its rights to be peeved.The good news for the Panthers and their fans is this team looks set for a long finals run, and the people in charge will at last have no choice but to put them front and centre.Until then, NRL fans might just have to enjoy the schadenfreude of watching one of the league's giants being taken down week after week.This service may include material from Agence France-Presse (AFP), APTN, Reuters, AAP, CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced.This year's Penrith side is better than our 2003 premiership teamThe Broncos may be the NRL's worst team for the first time and they seem unsure how to turn it aroundSydney FC crowned A-League champions after beating Melbourne City in grand finalCarlton fades as Collingwood claims vital AFL win at the GabbaInjury-hit Storm beat Sea Eagles as Raiders come from behind to down BulldogsWest Coast Fever reach new heights with thrashing of Sunshine Coast LightningDjokovic forms breakaway tennis player association, but Federer and Nadal call for united standFederal legislation expected in response to abuse of former Broncos coach SeiboldIn the birthplace of coronavirus, life almost looks normal — until you look closerWA man set to be first Australian fitted with tracking device for alleged COVID-19 breachSydney FC crowned A-League champions after beating Melbourne City in grand finalOne person killed after Trump supporters clash with Black Lives Matter protesters in PortlandBikie shot dead in 'cowardly and brazen' attack outside Sydney homeKylie and Susan were a picture of health.

I think it's just going to be play-on.

Standing in their way is an up-and-down Tigers side desperate to gain some consistency.Cronulla rookie halves duo of Connor Tracey and Braydon Trindall helped steer the Sharks to a big 28-12 win over North Queensland in Kogarah.Trindall was starting in just his third NRL game, playing in Shaun Johnson's place after the Kiwi star aggravated a groin injury at training, and alongside Tracey, the pair delivered. "I don't think he'll be in any trouble there," Meninga said. "They are rolling the dice, the Wests TIgers and they've had some success here. "Nathan's got his ankle and [Mbye's] trying to get up and play the ball. "Obviously the opportunities this year are closing, but where we want to get to is where Penrith are currently.

That's why we've got to make sure we turn up every week whether it's a rivalry or not. "I don't know if it was intentional," Braith Anasta said in Fox Sports' commentary. "Cleary lined up a penalty kick on halftime and slotted it to put Penrith 14-6 up.Bit of a melee there! "It was a feisty clash from kick-off with both teams bringing a lot of intensity early on. "This is a beautiful kick by the master Benji Marshall. Wests defence scrambled to stop them, but then on the play-the ball Doueihi rushed up to tackle the dummy-half and immediately the ref blew his whistle and gave him 10 in the bin. "It was almost good to get scored on at the start, just to do it a little differently," the former Tigers coach said. All momentum has swung in the home team's favour.Jarome Luai and Liam Martin helped Penrith edge ahead of the Tigers after David Nofoaluma's opening try inside 8 minutes.And there were some cracking try-saving tackles made by both sides, one to stop Wests' Tommy Talau and the other to deny Tyrone May from an almost certain try!There were also a few spot fires as tensions simmered between these teams that clearly don't like each other.But right at the end of the half a brain snap by the Tigers handed two points to Penrith and left Adam Doueihi in the sin-bin for 10.Doueihi bumbled a pass to Tommy Talau which gave the Panthers a sniff at the try-line with less than 2 minutes on the clock in the half. They face a tricky test against a Cronulla Sharks side that have no problems crossing the whitewash and have lost just one of their last five matches. "Minutes later the Tigers were nearly in again through Tommy Talau, but a desperate tackle by the Panthers leave shim juuuuuust short when he planted it. The Penrith Panthers have a four-point lead atop of the NRL ladder and one hand on the minor premiership after a 30-6 thrashing of Wests Tigers.
