Themselves missing a half-dozen Origin representatives, North Queensland moved into the top eight after posting an impressive victory in Penrith.
The Panthers missed the experience of a host of senior players as two of the most Origin-affected sides in the competition went head-to-head in Penrith on Sunday
Even with a double first-half sin-bin for North Queensland, the Panthers were only able to muster six points for the game, with the Cowboy’s scrambling goal-line defence too good for a clunky Panthers attack. It was a gallant effort from North Queensland, who kept the Panthers scoreless during that time, but Penrith were finally able to find a crack in their defence after Jaxon Purdue was sent to the bin for a trip on Daine Laurie.Brad Schneider got the Panthers’ first and only points during that time, slipping through the Cowboys line to go over next to the sticks.
Coach Ivan Cleary had said the club were hopeful Nathan would return after the next bye, which would mean a comeback against the Dolphins in round 20.
