Latest News About Penrith hold on to beat Parramatta

Penrith Panthers forward forward Jenkins was sent to the sin bin for a deliberate foul as his side battled to beat the Parramatta Eels by two points on July 23, 2026.

Jenkins’ foul triggered two separate sending-off moments during the match, coming up in each half.

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary later made light of the mix-up, dropping in a note about the World Cup during the full-time comments.

The side weathered the ill-discipline to claim a late fightback win, with Jenkins’ disciplinary file added under unusual circumstances.
