A week after registering a season-high 84 receipts in a loss against Easts, Nathan Cleary had a season-low 47 receipts in a big win against Melbourne. Go figure.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Penrith\u2019s lack of possession against the Storm played a part in those\u00a0numbers\u00a0but\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0an interesting stat to keep an eye on this week, nonetheless. With Isaah Yeo out and the Panthers still\u00a0trialling\u00a0different personnel at five-eighth, this feels like the time for Cleary to play on the ball more than ever\u2026<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With so much common history across these two playing rosters,\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0a bit of a\u00a0modern day\u00a0rivalry forming between Penrith and the\u00a0Dogs\u00a0and this can make for another entertaining chapter.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Canterbury played themselves into some form last week\u00a0and\u00a0 at\u00a0the very least they will make this a physical contest early. I like the class of Cleary to be the difference in the\u00a0end\u00a0but there should be a few defensive highlight reel moments for us to enjoy along the way.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Penrith Panthers 1-12<\/p>\n

Anytime Tryscorer:<\/strong> Nathan Cleary<\/p>\n
