Another great away win.What has happenned to Covells kicking? This will end up costing him his NRL career even though his general play was good.I would keep Green in the 17 at Seu Seu,s expense.

How could seymour not get a mention, anybody could of scored Covells first two tries, he just had to grab the ball and run over the line uncontested, his 3rd try was good but not a man of the match performance.

Priddis: Early try cost us

Stand-in Penrith skipper Luke Priddis believes scoring first in Sunday's CUA Stadium loss to Cronulla proved costly to his team.

The Panthers began the game well and were rewarded with the game's opening try in just the third minute to Michael Jennings, but from there it was all the Sharks as they romped to an 18-6 half-time lead.

The visitors' advantage would have been even greater if winger Luke Covell had been more accurate with the boot, making just one of his four attempts to the break, and Priddis told Fox Sports his team simply wasn't up to the challenge.

"Yeah it is (frustrating), we just didn't stick to the game plan that we devised and just dropped too much ball," Priddis said.

"I think scoring that early was probably to the detriment of our game, we came out with a purpose and we scored an early try that we probably didn't deserve and from then on it was pretty much the Sharks' ball game."

The Panthers were better in the second 40 minutes, grabbing the first try and nearly adding another moments later but Covell's third try, converted by man of the match Brett Seymour, looked to put the result beyond doubt.

Penrith gave Cronulla a scare with two converted tries in the final five minutes of the game and then threw it around in the final seconds before succumbing 24-22, and Priddis added that the greasy conditions hadn't been to blame.

"Yeah we did (prepare for a wet surface)," he said. "We trained really well yesterday, probably one of the best sessions that we've put in and like I said we started the game well and that's just the way the cookie crumbles."

Five-eighth Seymour had a big smile on his face post-match, having scored one try and had a hand in the other four before replacing Covell and slotting the sideline conversion that ultimately separated the two sides, and he sees plenty of upside for his team.

"Penrith are going really good, (they've got) great home support, we knew it'd be tough but it was a good one to grind out," Seymour said. "We're slowly improving in our attack (and) if we could keep our defensive standard up and the attack improves then we'll stick with the big teams."

Did he only play for 10 minutes? He seemed to be everywhere for 10 minutes and then he was gone. What happened to him?

And he appeared to play much better for those 10 minutes than he has been playing in Toyota Cup.

10 minutes..got hooked i suspect as he didnt do much, did he make any tackles? and runs were good
When Karlos came onto the field, Jennings broke the line and Karlos takled him before he could sprint away, wouldn't call it a try saver, since it was 30m from penrith line, but still a very critical tackle to be made, other then that, Karlos had a few strong runs, then did nothing. I'll like to see next time his in firsts to be given more game time, to settle into the speed of First Grade and hopefully get involved.

Woo Hoo!! We won and if we won by 2 or 20 it doesn't matter. At the end of the day all that matters is the 2 points.
The boys scored some really good trys in the first half and if we can keep this attack up we will be up there come the end of the year.
Covell can't kick for **** this year but he is a try scoring machine!!
Kimmorley is playing unreal this year and Seymour has shown everyone that he is all class and will serve us well in the coming years. It's all coming together for us at this stage of the year and if we can keep this up we will be in an excellent position come semi-finals time. Go you Sharkies!!
