Penrith Panthers rookie Stephen Crichton was the hero for the second week in a row after sparking the Panthers to a high-scoring 32-28 win over the Dragons last night.

In front of an empty Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, Crichton was again injected off the bench at fullback midway through the second half last night and did what he had done seven days ago against the Sydney Roosters.

The 19-year-old cut through the Dragons defence off a Nathan Cleary pass, found support in Liam Martin, before backing him up again to finish off the 70-metre movement.

Viliame Kikau also scored a try for the Panthers.

In other results, the Broncos defeated the Rabbitohs 22-18.

The Warriors will take on the Raiders at 4 this afternoon, the Roosters will face the Sea Eagles at 6.30 tonight, the Sharks will play the Storm at 8.35 tonight, the West Tigers will take on the Knights at 5.05pm tomorrow while the Titans will play the Eels at 7.15pm tomorrow.
