Penrith players could be excused for jokingly saying 'Nathan who?' in the wake of last Saturday's 26-6 demolition of Canberra.The game was the 11th in the last three seasons the Panthers have had without their talisman Nathan Cleary at number seven - and remarkably they have won 10 of them!With halves partner Jarome Luai also out, the Panthers were expecting a tough afternoon in Canberra but their march towards the minor premiership continued in fine style.It says a lot about the depth of talent and the culture at the Panthers that they can still win without their two Origin playmakers - with Sean O'Sullivan and the much talked-about Jaeman Salmon playing some fine footy to end the Raiders' finals hopes.
