🔥 WHAT A GAME 🔥

Two sides built on similar styles trading blows all night 👀

Panthers held the lead early before the Warriors stormed back in the 2nd through Tuaupiki and AKP. Plenty of late chances for the Wahs, but Penrith stood tall defensively and held on.

Panthers left edge delivers ✅

🔥 RAIDERS TOO STRONG 🔥

Fast start, strong defence and full control 👀

Canberra piled on 3 quick tries and never looked back. Cowboys struggled to build rhythm with errors and couldn't maintain their offload game.

Cowboys left edge delivers ✅

📋 FINAL TEAMLISTS 👀

One late change for Penrith with McLean shifting to centre and Garner returning to the bench.

Locked in. Game time 🔥

[18th Man Edge Model @18thManEdge]

Panthers left edge gets the nod 👀

Penrith's left attack ranks near the top of the competition, but this won't come easy against a Warriors right edge sitting inside the top defensive ranks. A heavyweight clash with strike power on both sides.

Who scores first? 👇

🔥 DRAGONS BREAK THROUGH 🔥

Fast start, late pressure, but the Red V hold firm 👀

Broncos pushed late, but the Dragons do enough to claim their first win of the season. Best edge hits with Karapani crossing late in a high-energy finish.

Broncos left edge delivers ✅

Cowboys left edge shapes as the best matchup 👀

North Queensland's left side continues to rate strongly, coming up against a Raiders right edge sitting near the bottom defensively. Plenty of strike in this one with both sides carrying danger out wide.

Broncos left edge shapes as the best matchup 👀

While Brisbane left attack ranks 13th, the opportunity is there against a Dragons right edge sitting last defensively and conceding the most tries this season. Payne Haas returns, Origin players back up, and Walsh remains the danger man with plenty of upside on that left side.
