Martin magic conjures up memories of Inglis as Panthers go eight straight | mrchrisnico
The best moment for fans enjoying the action on the other side of the Blue Mountains came with just two minutes on the clock when Martin leapt high and stopped a Dylan Edwards grubber trickling over the dead-ball line. He then somehow swatted the ball back in play for Stephen Crichton to plant the ball down for a try.
The desperation shown by Martin so late in the game partly explains why the Panthers continue to sit top of the ladder. Manly did well to get as close as they did after Jason Saab raced nearly 70m with five minutes on the clock fo make it a four-point ball-game.When Matt Burton was placed on report for a high shot on Marty Taupau as he brought the ball back from the kick-off, Manly marched down field with a penalty, but soon coughed up possession.The Sea Eagles put in a much better effort considering they were lapped by 40 points against the same side a month ago.
But Manly will beat plenty of teams in the coming months if Tom Trbojevic and Cherry-Evans stay fit. Trbojevic scored a 70m try as the Manly and Penrith faithful held their breath hoping he would not break down with a hamstring injury.Panthers winger Brian To’o played a big role in setting up Penrith’s first try, then scored the second. His teammate on the same left edge, Viliame Kikau, was kept quiet most of the afternoon.
