Rugby: Panthers hammer Raiders 42-18 in NRL romp

Penrith set the tone early

Penrith needed 40 minutes to bury this one. Liam Martin and Tom Jenkins each grabbed first-half doubles as the Panthers pulled clear of Canberra at a sold-out Glen Willow Oval, and the Raiders never recovered from that opening burst.

The final read 42-18. In a Round 22 fixture with finals seeding on the line, Penrith produced the kind of performance that separates the contenders from the pack.

Let’s do it

Raiders left chasing

Canberra had no answer for the Panthers’ speed through the middle. By the time they found some rhythm, the margin had already grown too wide to close.

Four Penrith tries in the opening half told the story. The edge forwards did the early damage and the halves controlled the tempo, leaving the Raiders to play catch-up all afternoon.

Where it leaves both sides

The win pushes Penrith further up the ladder as the regular season winds down. Canberra travels home with plenty to fix before the playoff race tightens again.
