Fresh off signing a new contract, the NRL superstar delivered his side's first win of 2023.

They looked likeliest on their left, where the Panthers were left vulnerable by a hamstring injury to Liam Martin on game day. Thursday’s win at CommBank Stadium will give the Eels untold confidence following a 0-3 start that threatened to bring their premiership tilt unstuck before it had begun. Penrith, meanwhile, have begun their premiership defence with one win and two losses.

In 115 years of professional rugby league in Australia, only once has a side started a season 0-4 and gone on to hoist the trophy.

'An act of god': Cleary delivers NRL's 'greatest clutch play' ever in GF rematch heartbreak.

The rugby league world was left stunned by the crazy finish to the grand final rematch, praising both Cleary and Moses. “You imagine you are 0-3, you have got the game won and almost like an act of god that happens, you know yourself how demoralising that would be,” Johna added. “You even saw the Parra fans clapping, that’s how good it was, it was an extraordinary effort,” Hindmarsh said. “How demoralising (for the Eels), down to twelve men, we had Junior Paulo who was sent to the sin bin, twelve,” Johns said on Fox League’s The Late Show. And he stood tall, icing the game when it mattered most in a grand final rematch. well done to the boys.” “Nathan Cleary, that is just about the greatest clutch play I’ve ever seen in rugby league.” Panthers superstar Nathan Cleary delivered the “greatest clutch play” in the history of rugby league in his side’s grand final rematch loss against the Eels. The forward who played 330 games in the blue and gold had grave fears for his beloved Eels after the field goal but praised the side for bouncing back. Eels prop Junior Paulo handed the Panthers a penalty and was sent off for a high shot on Zac Hosking before Cleary placed his touch-finding kick on the 40-metre line before nailing to clutch kick. The 25-year-old halfback was able to bring the scores level and force golden point with the stunning effort as the scores sat 16-14 with seconds on the clock. That is according to rugby league legend Matty Johns who believes Cleary’s 40-metre field goal was an “act of god”.
