Tom Jenkins gets the Panthers a dropout with a great kick chase, but Lyhkan King-Togia steals the bat-back for the Dragons, only for Penrith to swarm and take him into touch.

That puts Penrith on the attack from 15 metres out and they put it through the hands on a familiar left-side shift with Jenkins the beneficiary of quick hands from Blaize Talagi and Casey McLean.

Nathan Cleary can’t convert from out wide, so it’s 4-0 to the Panthers.

Last-second change for Dragons

Winger Christian Tuipulotu has pulled his hamstring in the warm-up just before kick-off, so he’s replaced by 18th man Corey Allan on the wing.

Oof.

1′ Dragons kick off in Wollongong

It’s deep, almost too deep and Blaize Talagi marks just inside the dead-ball line, offloading to Lindsay Smith for the first hit-up just outside the in-goal.

Split allegiances

Arvo Jon. I grew up idolising St. George before moving to Cronulla so I’m hoping for a miracle today – first up the Dragons (fingers and toes crossed) and then the Sharkies to finish my night on a high.

KB, that’s a rough combo.

Must make the rivalry clashes a little awkward. Who do you back when they face off?

Brian To’o and Liam Martin are still being rested by coach Ivan Cleary.

The Dragons are unchanged.

Hello and welcome to ABC Sport’s Saturday NRL blog.
