Nathan Cleary has sparked Penrith in a 40-6 demolition of the Warriors, deflating any expectations for their long-awaited New Zealand NRL homecoming next ...
The Panthers led 18-0 halftime and were effectively home when Brian To'o crossed in the corner for the first of his two tries early in the second half. It was in stark contrast to Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson, who failed to trouble the Panthers' defence and is fighting for his place in the side. Halfback Cleary was always a play ahead of the Warriors. He tormented them with an array of kicks on top of his slick running and passing game.

“What is the future for Shaun Johnson, does he have the desire? “He is rock solid… Does he has the resilience and the tenacity to pull himself out of this hole he is in?” Both Nathan Brown and Stacey Jones have been vocal in explaining Johnson has been struggling and fans of the New Zealand side will be hoping Johnson returns to his brilliant best to close out the season and silence the critics. “Is this the end of his Test career, there has been calls for him to retire, he still has another year to go with the Warriors,” Yvonne Sampson said. But it isn’t the end for Johnson as Benji Marshall explained that he expects the Warriors as a squad to improve once they return home during the week, reuniting with family in a huge morale boost. “He just burrows hard, and burrows over, you aren’t meant to do that in the NRL,” Andrew Voss said. he is the glue to our defence and it is a pleasure to play alongside him,” “The off-load was a killer for the Warriors defence, and away they go.... “He is a quality player and he is powerful, but his skillset, his footwork, his ability to know where the sideline is, how to beat and man and then to get the football down,” Flanagan said. “He has had another fine night for the Panthers,” Andrew Voss said. “12 out of 13 players out there (for the Panthers) are representative players, the only one who isn’t is Dylan Edwards,” Sampson said.
The Panthers ensured there would be no fairytale farewell for the Warriors after almost three years in Australia as they continued their charge towards ...
The Warriors had hoped to be returning with a win in their last match but they can still expect a hero's welcome from league starved fans in Auckland on what is guaranteed to be an emotional day for the club. In just their second match since Stacey Jones took over the coaching reins from Nathan Brown, the Warriors showed some resolve and improvement on last weekend's 38-16 loss to the Sharks but they were no match for Penrith. The match was the last for the Warriors before finally returning to New Zealand for an emotional homecoming match against Wests Tigers in two weeks after being forced to stay in Australia since the start of the 2020 premiership due to COVID-19.
Shaun Johnson was animated as he laid down the law to his teammates as the Warriors head home for the first time in more than two years.
It was a sad farewell for the Warriors on Aussie soil with Johnson appearing to give his team a stern talking to as the seconds ticked down before the final siren. Shaun Johnson was animated as he laid down the law to his teammates as the Warriors head home for the first time in more than two years.

In their final match before returning to Mt Smart Stadium, it was another heavy defeat for the Kiwi side, falling to the first-placed Penrith Panthers 40-6 in ...
Fullback Dylan Edwards soon added to the score with a set play from the scrum. However, it was mere consolation as they fell to their seventh straight loss. It was a quick dart out of dummy half from hooker Apisau Koroisau that got the Panthers going.
Although there were some bright spots, the Warriors were outclassed by the Panthers as their losing streak extended to seven games.
He was responsible for numerous Panthers tries and kicked a number of unbelievable conversions. Anyone who thought the Warriors had any chance of winning this game was delusional, so not much can be read into this result. The Panthers were unusually scrappy, making mistakes and only completing 28 of 38 sets. Once that happened, heads dropped among the Warriors and it was the same old story after that. It was followed by a bright patch from the Warriors, even though no points came from it and normal service was resumed when Isaah Yeo and Liam Martin scored further Panthers tries. Then came the usual Warriors problem of conceding a try after an error.
Penrith Panthers overcame a sloppy start to batter the New Zealand Warriors 40-6, in the Warriors final 'home' appearance in Redcliffe.
“Is there any more influential player than this man – be it with the Panthers or NSW?" Parker asked. Even in his short stint he got in Origin I, I think he looked good out there. An incorrect play-the-ball from Bailey Sironen then gave Penrith another opportunity to attack inside the Kiwis half. Eventually, Penrith’s error-strewn start to the game was broken, when Api Koroisau’s sharp work out of dummy-half sent Leota through a gap. The Panthers, on average, leak just 11 points per game. It was a first try of the season for the unheralded prop and only the ninth of his career.
The next time the Warriors take the field will be at Mt Smart Stadium, where they'll play their first match in almost three years.
