Fullback Dylan Edwards soon added to the score with a set play from the scrum. However, it was mere consolation as they fell to their seventh straight loss. It was a quick dart out of dummy half from hooker Apisau Koroisau that got the Panthers going.

The Panthers ensured there would be no fairytale farewell for the Warriors after almost three years in Australia as they continued their charge towards ...

The Warriors had hoped to be returning with a win in their last match but they can still expect a hero's welcome from league starved fans in Auckland on what is guaranteed to be an emotional day for the club. In just their second match since Stacey Jones took over the coaching reins from Nathan Brown, the Warriors showed some resolve and improvement on last weekend's 38-16 loss to the Sharks but they were no match for Penrith. The match was the last for the Warriors before finally returning to New Zealand for an emotional homecoming match against Wests Tigers in two weeks after being forced to stay in Australia since the start of the 2020 premiership due to COVID-19.

Panthers coach Cameron Ciraldo has lauded Warriors 'committed' effort against Penrith.

The Warriors were beaten at every turn by the Panthers, who piled on seven tries, including a double to Brian To'o, in the drubbing. Ciraldo said the Warriors first half effort was "really committed and physical". "We're not in a good way at the moment with how we're playing, but this gives us a good opportunity to get back home and and try and play some good footy," he said.

Penrith Panthers overcame a sloppy start to batter the New Zealand Warriors 40-6, in the Warriors final 'home' appearance in Redcliffe.

“Is there any more influential player than this man – be it with the Panthers or NSW?" Parker asked. Even in his short stint he got in Origin I, I think he looked good out there. An incorrect play-the-ball from Bailey Sironen then gave Penrith another opportunity to attack inside the Kiwis half. Eventually, Penrith’s error-strewn start to the game was broken, when Api Koroisau’s sharp work out of dummy-half sent Leota through a gap. The Panthers, on average, leak just 11 points per game. It was a first try of the season for the unheralded prop and only the ninth of his career.

“Dylan this is your chance to give yourself a huge wrap because Nathan said that scrum play was your idea,” Cooper Cronk said. “We have sort of been working on it for a little bit because people break out of the scrum pretty quick to try and shut down Jarome and myself,” Cleary said. The Panthers delivered an impressive play off a scrum to pile the points on against the Warriors — and a surprise man was the architect of the “beautiful” move.
