NRL: An agreement has been reached on a return to the NRL for the Bears, with the bid to become the next expansion team to be under the name the 'Western Bears'.
The Eels are on the cusp of a stunning upset as they lead the Panthers 34-26 late in the second half with Penrith star Liam Martin in the bin.
Parramatta stunned the premiers with two tries in the first 10 minutes and the opener came from teen sensation Blaize Talagi after just 75 seconds.The Panthers hit back with the usual suspects Isaah Yeo, Nathan Cleary and Brian To’o linking up for the latter to score.But the Eels crossed again down the left edge in the 10th minute when Talagi turned provider to put Jake Tago over out wide.
Penrith equalised when Cleary put in a deft grubber for Izack Tago to pounce and scored just minutes after his brother. Cleary booted a penalty goal in the 27th minute to give the visitors the lead for the first time before the Eels retook it with a Sean Russell try just be fore halftime. Martin Martin was binned for a late shot on the kicker, Dylan Brown, and the hosts took the two points on offer before Parramatta skipper Clint Gutherson bagged a double to seal it.
