Penrith coach Ivan Cleary says the game "wasn't our best stuff."

"We get away with a win, some good resilience shown but we showed that last week as well," Cleary said.

"Tonight we got the points but we'll have to do a lot better than that.

"We just didn't play that well, certainly didn't start well."

He doesn't dispute either sin-bin, saying "if you put a hand on someone the gun is loaded."

Cleary is tight-lipped about that Panthers left side that struggled so much tonight. "They can do better than that."

He praises Jenkins development and consistency after breaking the club record tonight.

Eels coach Jason Ryles is speaking now.

"We definitely put ourselves in the contest," Ryles said.

"We won a lot of parts of the game that generally, at the end of it, are indicators you've won the game.

"It's not their first rodeo being in those situations. I'm incredibly proud of the effort and fight we show and continue to show.

"But fight and effort only get you so far."

He says Parramatta could've handled the sin-bin periods better but praises how they targeted Penrith's left edge.

Ryles also expresses his frustration with a few of the refereeing calls, namely the Brian Kelly no try that led to Jenkins' sin bin.

"Every week I can come in and have a little dig but I choose not to because I know how hard the job is," Ryles said.

"If he (Jenkins) impeded him to get to the ball and he gets so close to the line, maybe a penalty try?"

Describes the forward pass in the lead up to the Martin try as "gridiron."

"It's disappointing when we have so much technology and we're so willing to use it at times and at other times we just don't," Ryles said.

"But we were our own worst enemy and those things add to it."

Parramatta captain Mitchell Moses echoes his coaches comments.

"I don't think it was the calls that hurt us. We hurt ourselves by relieving pressure."

Moses puts in a chip kick and it takes a wicked bounce, Kelly toes it through but Scott is there to clean it up for Penrith and that'll do us.

The Panthers escape but look far from their best. There's a couple of decisions the Eels will really be questioning.

A wild Talagi pass is intercepted by Penisini and Moses keeps Parramatta alive with an excellent short ball to Williams who scores his second!

Once Moses converts it's 24-18 Eels. They'll have one set to try and send us to golden point.

Penrith scramble on the last, Phillips looks to have thrown a forward pass to McLean but the ref says play on then Kelly knocks down a pass to give the Panthers another set.

On the last tackle Cleary kicks over to Alamoti, he taps it back to To'o who goes to Martin, then to Talagi and he pokes another kick through that takes a Panther bounce straight to Jenkins who scores!

That breaks Rhys Wesser's club record for most tries in a season by a Panther with 26.

That could be a dagger blow and again it comes off a controversial call. Cleary converts and it's 24-12 Panthers.

A set restart on the last puts the Penrith right on the attack and as they roll through the middle they start to look likely and in the end Lussick hits Martin short for the backrower to power over.

They're rolling now. Once Cleary converts it's 18-12 Panthers.

Talagi looks to have knocked on for sure just outside the Eels 20 but the referee says play on!

As if on cue, the Panthers go over just a few tackles later as Cleary hits Henry with a nice short ball. Controversial stuff, I thought it was a clear error.

Cleary converts and we're all square at 12.

To'o is ruled to have touched a Moses clearing kick - dunno about that one, Snicko wouldn't have liked it - but the Eels have yet another chance.

Penrith clean up an early Moses kick but a Jenkins error in contact gives it right back to them.

Alamoti takes a kick dead and from the drop out Kelly tries a grubber for himself down the line! We go to the Bunker.

He's just knocked it on, but Jenkins is ruled to have taken him out and the winger will go to the bin! Penrith will be without their winger for the first ten of the second half.

Moses takes the shot at penalty goal from the sideline as the siren sounds - what a finish, by the way - and though he can't convert the Eels are on top.

There's an error from Penrith on their own goal-line after Talagi failed to claim a Moses kick. They burn their challenge on it as well.

Can the Eels extend their lead? Not quite - they test the Panthers plenty but Penrith hold and once they wrap up Kautoga on the last it's a handover.

A simple error from Volkman at dummy half inside his own 20 gives the Panthers a chance at more points.

Leota nearly pulls through and Lussick goes for it from dummy half. We go to the Bunker, but Lussick has already run straight back to the ten. Held up.

Last tackle, Penrith spread it left but Kelly jams in and shuts down McLean.

Iongi loses the ball three tackles after the restart and the Panthers have a chance to reply.

On the last tackle they go high for Jenkins, he's well covered but manages to pop a pass to McLean who goes over in the corner courtesy of a fantastic put down!

Excellent footy from both the Panthers and they're on the board. Cleary nails it from touch and it's 12-6.
