Penrith Panthers struggling with 3 consecutive losses, hopes rise with Nathan Cleary's return. Cowboys secure first win.
The defending premiers, Penrith Panthers, have faced early challenges in their title defense with three consecutive losses.
However, the return of Nathan Cleary is seen as a potential turning point for the team.
The departure of successful players in recent years has put Coach Ivan Cleary and his players to the test, making this season a significant challenge for the club.
On the other hand, the Cowboys secured their first win of the season against the Raiders last weekend.
