Panthers and Fiji Bati winger Tyrone Phillips

Fijian winger Tyrone Phillips had an acrobatic finish when he frog-leaped over Tigers defender for a high‑flying finish in Panthers' comfortable 16‑2 win over Tigers last night.

Meanwhile, Panthers star Nathan Cleary has made a triumphant NRL return from injury after helping steer the Panthers to a win.

Cleary had missed the past seven matches with a knee issue but set up a first‑ half try and broke three tackles in a strong performance against his dad's Tigers side.

Fiji Bati’s Viliame Kikau, Christian Crichton and Phillips all appeared set to score other tries, but were denied by a valiant Tigers defence on each occasion, before the Panthers held on for their sixth win in eight matches.

In the NRL matches tonight the Eels will take on the Warriors at 8pm while the Broncos will play the Roosters at 9.55pm.

Tomorrow, the Titans will take on the Knights at 5pm, the Cowboys will play the Rabbitohs at 7.30pm while the Storm will face the Sea Eagles at 9.35pm.

On Sunday the Dragons will take Raiders at 5pm while the Sharks will play the Bulldogs at 6.10pm.
