Penrith Panthers have been hit with a blow as star player Nathan Cleary is facing some time on the sidelines due to a pesky hamstring injury.
The talented halfback was forced to leave the field in the dying minutes of their recent victory over Brisbane, and it looks like he will have to sit out their upcoming clash with the Sydney Roosters.
Cleary's absence will be a big loss for the Panthers, but they will be looking to their back-up players to step up and fill the void.
The team will be hoping to rally together and continue their winning streak without their key playmaker.
Meanwhile, the Parramatta Eels are also dealing with their own injury concerns, as they prepare to face off against the Gold Coast Titans.
Both teams will need to dig deep and show some fighting spirit as they navigate through these challenging times.
It's times like these that truly test a team's resolve and character, but with the support of their fans and the determination of their players, both the Panthers and the Eels will be looking to come out stronger on the other side.
