Panthers halfback Nathan Cleary has produced a stunning two-point field goal to secure a miraculous golden-point victory over the Dolphins in his return from a hamstring injury.
The skipper was playing his first match since Round 10 and did not skip a beat with ball in hand as he steered Penrith to a 28-26 come-from-behind win.
Fifty-two points were scored in an entertaining clash, with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow crossing for a first-half double for the Dolphins. Cleary was perfect from the boot, landing five from five including two sideline conversions that bounced off the goal post.
The sixth, and most important, goal came in the 82nd minute as the Panthers capped a stunning comeback.
The Dolphins led 18-12 at the break and promptly extended the lead to 14 through a Jack Bostock try and Jamayne Isaako penalty goal to hold a 26-14 advantage after 53 minutes.
The Panthers, however came home with a wet sail and reeled off 14-straight points of their own to level the scores with five minutes to play.
That was the end of the scoring in regulation, the Dolphins holding on grimly to send the match to golden point.
