Friday, August 21, 6.00 PM, Round 15, Panthers Stadium, Penrith, Penrith Panthers take on Cronulla Sharks NRL Match Fixture

A rugby league match consists of two halves with forty minutes a half combined to produce an eighty-minute full match, the Cronulla Sharks will last the first forty but will need a miracle to last the next forty, the Panthers when they play last eighty minutes, the Sharks could go sixty minutes but eighty? that’s the real difference between these two, either way, this should be a great game with plenty of points if the Panthers defense is a bit off this round.
