NRL: Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has praised son Nathan after he led Penrith to a clutch victory against the Knights.
Viliame Kikau played in front of more than 82,000 fans on grand final night when the Panthers beat the Eels, but the Bulldogs enforcer says he’s “never seen anything” like what happened on Sunday as Canterbury fans turned Belmore into a sea of blue and white to celebrate their side’s path towards a drought-breaking finals berth .
“We were sent videos from some of the boys’ mates who must have been around the road. It was chockers there, so we got told to wait around here for farewells before we walked back to the leagues club. We’ve got crazy fans here.Sunday’s result sets up an epic suburban showdown between the Bulldogs and Dragons at a sold-out Kogarah that will be heaving with diehard Red V supporters who are desperate to see their side hold onto a spot in the top eight.
“You can expect to cop abuse, but our fans will be there as well, so I’m pretty sure they’ll be there supporting us, and I’ve heard it has sold out already, so I’m assuming there’s going to be a fair crowd there.” “Everyone forgets he’s only 23, so he’s still a young man. As long as they keep him around here, this place will just go on leaps and bounds forward.”
