Panthers did not look let getting back in this game then all of a sudden they get downfield of a penalty.

All St Helens had to do was come up with a take and the Panthers pick it up, throw it out to Brian To'o and he goes straight over.

Alex Walmsley and Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook pound out the yards for Saints down the middle, before the ball is flung back to Lewis Dodd to drop.

The chance was blocked, and then Saints are pinged for blockers in the line.

BRILLIANT READ BY SIONE MATA'UTIA.

Isaah Yeo drifted and then passed out the back to Nathan Cleary for Penrith, but the Saints back-rower rushed Cleary as he received it.

Perfect.

I love watching the Panthers when they're in this situation, they are under the pump and the game is on the line.

St Helens are out on their feet but they keep turning up for each other. Their kick-chase is phenomenal.

They are sprinting downfield to make sure they limit the metres of the Panthers.

Saints slug it up, Alex Walmsley picking a hole and then getting a quick play-the-ball for Joey Lussick to slick forward.

Big kick on the back of Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook's push, and Penrith have to come out from their own end.

It's a bit like the walking wounded, but both teams just putting bodies in the way to shut down would be attacks.

Stephen Crichton and Sunia Turuva seek to attack from deep, all rubber-legged for Penrith, but somehow Saints halt them.

Time ticking away.

Ex-Huddersfield half-back Jack Cogger is on for the Panthers. Blind pass to touch by Penrith! Poor there.

Jonny Lomax skews a drop-goal attempt from to the right of the posts. Bit of a made-up play that one. Made up on the hoof.

Every time the ball hits the ground, the first person to it is a Saints player. They are all over it tonight.

Penrith pass loose in midfield and Jonny Lomax gets to the loose ball first.

Saints have possession.

Saints getting banjoed as they seek to come off their own line.

Furious linespeed from Penrith.

But then a huge kick clears the lines. The Panthers are right back into it.

Joey Lussick is on for James Roby, what an athlete.

Great yardage set by St Helens. Big boppers raze their way downfield, and then Jonny Lomax just threads a kick into backfield and it trickles out for a scrum 10 out.

Perfect game management.

Konrad Hurrell gets a flurry of shoulders in the gut and spills possession in midfield.

The Panthers are pouring forward off the back of it. For a moment a wide pass from Nathan Cleary gives Stephen Crichton the sniff of an overlap, but Saints scrambled brilliantly to cover.

Then the home side clatter down the left, but again Saints hold firm as Zac Hosking is halted.

Saints try a little switch of angles and short-balls in midfield, but it's well read by Penrith.

Then the ball is worked out right to Jack Welsby, who is smuggled to touch by the home side.

First time they've really got the better of him.

Jonny Lomax shovels a short-ball to Curtis Sironen who almost pokes his nose through for Saints.

Then Lomax is forced back but keeps it in play.

Great kick in to the in-goal by Lomax on the last... Sunia Turuva scoops it behind.

Drop out to come...

Stephen Crichton takes a kick in with Saints rumbling forward, and five metres from his line, goes for a flick pass to a team-mate which is spilled.

This is a gift from close range for Saints.

It was a flat pass and I will go with the touch judge. It was a close call, it was a lucky one possibly for the Panthers.

Saints denied by a forward pass!

Jonny Lomax brings Jack Welsby into the line and with almost immediate precision, a looping pass to Will Hopoate puts him one on one.

Ashley Klein denies the Tonga international a score, as he calls forward pass.

Gutting for Saints but another taste of Welsby's class.

Big stomp forward by Curtis Sironen off the back of Jonny Lomax's cute pass.

Then Alex Walmsley sets Saints a point in centre-field, inside the 20.

Saints were squeezed out in the end by Penrith, with Lewis Dodd smothered, a harmless finish.

Mark Percival saves a possible 40-20 from a returning Panthers kick. Saints bring the ball away.

Sione Mata'utia is clipped high by Mitch Kenny and Saints get a relieving penalty in midfield.

Chance to drill to touch and take it in for the Red Vee.
