Panthers 42 Raiders 18<\/p>\n
It has been impossible to approach this game without referencing what has come before. The \u201cMiracle in Mudgee\u201d \u2013 you\u2019d have to be living under a rugby league rock not to have seen footage this week of that goalpost-hitting, length-of-the-field stunner that allowed Canberra to pinch it from Penrith last year \u2013 loomed large over the rematch at the same venue.<\/p>\n
But after being on the wrong end of a lopsided 42-18 scoreboard at Glen Willow Oval on Saturday night \u2013 and falling two wins outside the top eight as a result \u2013 it will take more than a miracle for the Raiders to sneak into the post-season.<\/p>\n
This was the \u201cMassacre in Mudgee\u201d. After an underwhelming month of football, Penrith are back. They slayed a team that had won its past four games and travelled to the NSW central west desperate to keep their season alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Panthers 42 Raiders 18 It has been impossible to approach this game without referencing what has come before.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":838257,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-838256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=838256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/838256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/838257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=838256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=838256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=838256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
