A hamstring injury to Origin centre Michael Jennings opened a defensive weakness for the Panthers to race in three quick second half tries to come back from 14‑0 down in a thrilling 22‑18 win over local rivals Parramatta Eels last night.
The Eels exploded out of the blocks with three quick tries against a stunned Panthers outfit but with a host of backline stars already unavailable the injury to Jennings shortly before half‑time saw coach Brad Arthur once again forced to use back‑rowers out wide and an alert home side took full advantage, running three tries down the Eels' right edge shortly after half time.
In another match the Storm beat the Knights 20-16.
The Storm is now leading the NRL points table with 32 points.
In tonight's match, the Roosters will take on the Sharks at 9pm.
