The Dayne Jennings highlight reel continues, this time the rookie winger making a desperate last-ditch tackle to deny Liam Henry a try a metre short of South Sydney’s line.
The game calms down for a few minutes as Souths get back into the grind, before Tevita Tatola catches Jack Cole with a nasty-looking high tackle and is put on report. (Cole bounces straight back up and appears to be fine.)
Penrith go through the hands to the left, with the ball going all the way to Tom Jenkins – who cuts back inside with an angled run. He charges straight at Keaon Koloamatangi and Jennings, somehow gets an arm free to plant the ball down, and … drops it over the line? The on-field referee rules it a try, but surely the bunker will take a few looks at this.
It’s very, very close. There’s also a hint of a possible double movement. The bunker rules he didn’t lose control of the ball, and gives it as a try. A bit controversial, that one, but another excellent effort from Jenkins, and another double, and he’s up to 24 tries for the season.
