NRLEelsPanthers - Match Report 📝
The Eels were on top before Cleary was sensationally given his marching orders by referee Todd Smith for a lifting tackle on Kiwis five-eighth Dylan Brown at a sold out CommBank Stadium.
Piling on five first half tries, Parramatta inflicted Penrith's second defeat of the season - and they were also responsible for the other loss in round nine. Trailing 30-4 at halftime and without Cleary or injured five-eighth Jarome Luai, the Panthers showed why they have been the NRL's top team of the past three seasons to limit the Eels to just one late try despite being a man down.
Fiji winger Maika Sivo and hooker Reed Mahoney scored two tries each, while halfback Mitchell Moses produced two 40/20 kicks as the Eels kept their top four hopes alive after last weekend's 36-14 loss to Brisbane. Cleary was given his marching orders in the 18th minute after placing his hands between the legs of Brown, who flipped awkwardly in the tackle.
