Penrith Panthers vs Dolphins Preview

This Sunday’s game highlights Nathan Cleary’s return for Penrith, adding significant excitement to the match. The Panthers, fresh off a 14-6 win over Brisbane before the bye, have key Origin players Jarome Luai, Brian To’o, and Liam Martin listed in reserves, while Dylan Edwards and Isaah Yeo are rested. Daine Laurie steps in at fullback, and Cleary’s comeback since his Round 10 hamstring injury is a huge boost.

The sixth-placed Dolphins, who were on a 1-4 run before their Round 18 bye, recently secured a vital 36-28 win over Souths. Trai Fuller’s form at fullback has been impressive, though he may move to the bench if Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow returns from Origin. Maroons’ Felise Kaufusi is also named to back up, while Euan Aitken is out with a pec injury.

The Panthers narrowly beat the Dolphins 20-14 last year with an Origin-depleted side. Penrith’s superior defensive record against the Dolphins, who have conceded 24+ in six consecutive games, should make them strong favourites to win, especially with Cleary’s return boosting their chances.
