Only the Dragons conceded more tries down the left this season than the Panthers and that side of the field was again under the pump at times against the Bulldogs last Sunday.<\/p>\n
Broncos centre Kotoni Staggs has already fired a warning shot this week, stating he and halfback Adam Reynolds will target that side.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been happening for about 20 weeks in a row,\u201d the Panthers coach said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe good thing about those boys is that they learn on the run and learn from each situation.<\/p>\n \u201cI actually felt like our left edge was responsible for creating a lot of pressure in the first half and there\u2019s a bit of context, our intensity dropped a bit and theirs picked up. That was all part of it. <\/p>\n \u201cBut yeah great lessons again and I\u2019m sure they will be put to use again this week. <\/p>\n \u201cPutting two rookies next to each other probably wasn\u2019t something in my mind early this season but they\u2019ve grown together Casey and Blaize.\u201d<\/p>\n Cleary said that while McLean and Talagi (16 missed tackles combined) were found out against the Bulldogs, he praised their defensive pressure in the first half, believing it was a big contributor to Penrith building a big lead early on.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve been targeted every week. It\u2019s no real scoop when you look at our two edges in terms of experience,\u2019 he said. <\/p>\n \u201cOur boys have learnt through experience and they\u2019re not afraid to make mistakes. <\/p>\n \u201cAs I said, last week their defence on the edge in the first half was the reason we were able to build pressure and build a good lead.\u201d<\/p>\n Staggs ‘warning’ to Panthers left edge | 03:17<\/p>\n MORE NRL NEWS<\/p>\n \u2018SHOCKER\u2019: Halves duo\u2019s Broncos legacies on the line amid haunting GF moments<\/a><\/p>\n TALKING POINTS: Cronk\u2019s big Hughes warning; how Reynolds exposes Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
