83′ No field goal shots yet
Gilbert contests a bomb and is ruled to have knocked it on. The Phins will challenge – they won’t get it. Penrith feed on their own 30.
But they don’t even get over halfway. Cobbo takes Cleary’s bomb and the Dolphins work it away.

79′ Panthers blow a chance to ice it
A penalty on Gilbert for a hip drop on Jenkins and he’s on report. In the more immediate sense, the Panthers will get into field goal range.
But on the fourth Cleary throws a cut out that hits the ground and Jenkins knocks it on! What a lifesaver for the Dolphins.

60′ Phins nearly go in again
Edwards drops another bomb and the Phins are hunting the lead. A set restart helps them build pressure. Katoa is really starting to wheel and deal, he tries to find Lemuelu short in half a gap but the ball squeezes free.
Penrith hold on…but then Sorensen goes for a round the corner offload and it’s over the sideline! What is doing out there?
Time for a drinks break. This game is on a knife’s edge.

Quarter-time: Panthers 12 lead Dolphins 0
No, that’s not a misprint – we have drinks breaks at the halfway point of each half and a longer halftime cause the mercury is so high in Darwin.
