The Penrith Panthers go into the weekend clash with North Queensland confident they’ve found the ability to tough out the close games.
The Panthers finally got over the line on the weekend, beating the Eels in an incredible last gasp effort but they’ll need to be better again against Johnathon Thurstons Cowboys.
Penrith half Jamie Soward’s (pictured) one on one battle with Thurston will be vital to the Panthers chances and although a big fan of the Cowboys skipper, he won’t be losing any sleep over the challenge ahead of him.
