The 22-14 win saw the Panthers edge one step closer to the minor premiership in a game that came down to the wire, with a penalty goal in the final 90 seconds sealing the deal for Penrith.

The Panthers seemed to have extended their lead with a try from Brian To'o, only for the Bunker to intervene and disallow the score due to a high tackle on Ponga.
The tense showdown left fans questioning the state of the game, with many expressing their frustration at the officiating decisions.
As the Panthers continue their march towards the minor premiership, the controversy surrounding high tackles threatens to overshadow their impressive season.
