Nathan Cleary has inspired NRL juggernaut Penrith to the biggest win in the club's history - a 68-0 mauling of insipid Wests Tigers at CommBank Stadium.
Penrith's State of Origin stars excelled on return from a week off to reiterate the yawning chasm between the ladder leaders and their NRL challengers in 2026.
Cleary shone brightest of all with three try assists and a four-pointer of his own as the Panthers rode their largest halftime lead since 2010 - 36-0 - to a huge win.
Nine different Panthers scored tries on Sunday and with six and a half minutes to play, left winger Tom Jenkins crossed for his second to push the margin beyond 60 points.
The end result surpassed a 72-12 defeat of Manly in 2004 to become the biggest Penrith have posted since entering the competition in 1967.
