Penrith crush Warriors 32-6 to win through to preliminary finalNathan Cleary scores one try and five goals in masterclass
After three straight grand finals, consecutive NRL titles and three minor premierships in four seasons, Penrith’s golden era notched a new chapter last night, as another Nathan Cleary masterclass crushed the Warriors 32-6 at BlueBet Stadium and propelled this incredible Panthers side into another preliminary final in a fortnight.
It keeps alive the dream of coach Ivan Cleary’s men being the first team in the NRL era to win three premierships in a row, and become the first rugby league team in 40 years to achieve the fabled ‘three-peat’ since Parramatta’s run of 1981-83 titles.
