Panthers Send Clear Statement in Magic Round Masterclass
The Penrith Panthers have roared to life in 2025, delivering a dominant performance in Magic Round with a thumping 38-10 win over the Brisbane Broncos. Led by a clinical Nathan Cleary, the reigning premiers finally looked like their championship selves, overwhelming Brisbane with relentless pressure and precision.
Cleary orchestrated the game with trademark poise, laying on three try assists and scoring one himself in a commanding display. His kicking game constantly pinned the Broncos deep, while his vision in attack carved open Brisbane’s defence time and again. It was the kind of performance that reminded fans and rivals alike why he’s considered one of the game’s greats.
The Panthers, who had struggled to find consistency early in the season, looked revitalized across the park. Their forward pack dominated the middle, with James Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota laying the platform for Cleary to control the tempo. The backline followed suit, capitalizing on every opportunity created.
This emphatic victory sends a strong message to the competition: the Panthers are back. With their key stars firing and momentum building, Penrith look set to make another serious run for the title. The sleeping giant may have just awoken.
