'Extraordinary' Panthers stat, big Bunker call and 'nightmare' repeat in GF rematch — LIVE.
“I sort of got round the clock treatment. “I thought last week he was one of their best as well. When they had them on the backfoot, just kick long, it feels boring.” “They did a lot of great stuff. Maybe Ivan wants a little bit of spark after the 20-minute mark. Whether they think Mitch can soak up the opening 20 minutes against a big pack that were very good against the Eels. Using his eyes, looks away and throws the dummy.” The first couple of days I was like: ‘Not a chance I can play on this’. “It was a really poor pass and he swooped Stephen Crichton. “They are shifting it to the edges with long, wide passes and getting on the outside of the Panthers and cutting them to pieces.” Api off the bench, it’s something different. It’s the Panthers winning the battle with their defence.
Souths are in season-best form as they face a Panthers side robbed of some of their stars just three weeks before the finals start.
For the Panthers, the victory proved that even if Cleary and Luai take a week to find their chemistry when they return in the finals, the Panthers still have the stocks to compete. But, inspired by their own fullback Dylan Edwards' return from injury, the Panthers rediscovered the physicality that eluded them against Melbourne last week and took it up to the Rabbitohs in a match of finals-like intensity. An ankle injury put his season in doubt a week ago and his night was stymied by two bombed tries, but Panthers back-rower Liam Martin stood up when it counted, capping his miraculous recovery by sealing victory with a try in the last two minutes.

'They are so righteous': Tallis calls for Souths to get under Panthers' skin amid Arrow-Leniu 'bad blood'
“Especially the way that they celebrate. “I would be right under their skin. “They are the chirpiest team in the competition so you hit them back,” Tallis said. “The big guys want to protect the little guys, but when they are getting at your little guys you feel a little bit bad as well. “There is more than one way to skin a cat.” They think they are the best so you have got to ruffle their feathers a bit.” “Absolutely, Penrith carry on like they are so righteous and you are not allowed to get under their skin,” Tallis said. “Penrith have got plenty of verbal in them.” [Barrett secures coaching gig with Eels months after Dogs axing](https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/teams/eels/nrl-2022-trent-barrett-joins-parramatta-eels-as-assistant-coach-latest-news-video/news-story/62798695641882f5877e3f0f787fd5f2) [“Your goal in life is to play semi-finals and win a competition and you have got to bash Penrith through the middle and he has got to be a leader.”](https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2022-ricky-stuart-ban-fine-weakgutted-dog-canberra-raiders-reaction-paul-kent/news-story/db93064148cee917298873e9f9be2009) “It has got to be on and it is not just him (Arrow), all the others have to aim up as well,” Carroll said. “Leniu took offence to that and wouldn’t shake his hand at the end of the game, so there is plenty of bad blood there.” “I think it will, there is a real edge to these games between these two sides,” Read said.
