Nathan Cleary has put Penrith’s premiership rivals on notice, scoring a hat-trick of tries and putting on an attacking masterclass in the Panthers’ 46-10 win over St George Illawarra.
Reunited with halves partner Jarome Luai and most of Penrith’s other State of Origin stars for the first time since May, Cleary was in complete control in Wollongong.
The injuries did little to slow the Panthers, who are gearing up for a shot at a historic fourth straight premiership. The halfback had his fingerprints all over the Panthers’ third, when he helped Laurie bust down the right edge and then loomed up on the inside to score. All the while, St George Illawarra didn’t help themselves in front of their first sell out in Wollongong since July 2007.
