Panthers ready to pounce in Brisbane sunshine

The Penrith Panthers are primed to showcase their top attacking strategies as they prepare to capitalize on the Brisbane sunshine during Sunday's preliminary final.

This match will be the first daytime grand-final qualifier since 2005, featuring the Broncos and Panthers in front of an expected crowd of over 50,000 fans.

With sunny skies and a dry field anticipated, Penrith aims to replicate the outstanding attacking display they exhibited last Sunday when they overpowered the Bulldogs.

This weekend's showdown will see Walsh striving for his inaugural victory against the Panthers after seven consecutive defeats.

Cleary has been a constant source of trouble for the Broncos lately and revels in the chance to perform in bright sunlight.

The halfback has maintained an undefeated record in daytime matches since 2019 and is eager to keep the streak alive this Sunday afternoon.

Though his skills can sometimes leave teammates in awe, edge forward Scott Sorensen emphasized that the forwards must build a strong foundation to enable Cleary to shine.
