Cleary's 'chilling warning' to rivals

Can anyone stop Nathan Cleary's running game that is propelling the Panthers towards a third straight title?Cleary is at his devastating best when he takes on the line - and he did that in spades as Penrith trampled the Warriors 32-6 on Saturday afternoon.In one of the best halfback displays of the year, Cleary ran for an incredible 188 metres, scored a slick solo try, created another and made two linebreaks.His performance was a chilling warning to the other five teams left in the finals race as he earned his team a break next weekend.Stop Cleary and you stop Penrith - but it's easier said than done.The Warriors boast a pack as big and mobile as any in the NRL - but Cleary toyed with them as he led the Panthers to an impressive win.Cleary has had some quiet patches during a long season but is hitting his peak when it matters most, and the Panthers are on the verge of achieving something very special in the coming weeks.
