Nathan Cleary delivered a football clinic on Friday night, steering the Penrith Panthers to their seventh straight win in a dominant 42-10 thrashing of the Wests Tigers.
The Panthers co-captain was in complete control from the opening whistle, showcasing his trademark precision kicking and on-field leadership in a performance that reminded everyone why he’s one of the NRL’s elite. Cleary had the ball on a string—creating multiple try-scoring opportunities, controlling field position, and leaving the Tigers’ defence scrambling.
With this latest victory, Penrith solidifies their place at the top of the ladder and continues to look every bit the premiership favourite as the finals approach. The Tigers, meanwhile, were left searching for answers after another lopsided defeat in what has been a tough season.
Cleary’s performance drew praise from fans and commentators alike, with many calling it one of his most complete games of the year. As the Panthers march on with seven straight wins, their momentum shows no sign of slowing.
