The Panthers secured a precious win over the Eels in a classic Battle of the West at CommBank Stadium on Sunday.
The Panthers' Origin contingent returned from Blues duties to produce immense performances, with Nathan Cleary, Brian To'o and Dylan Edwards standing out.
Cleary kicked all three of his conversion attempts from out wide as well as a 40/20, while Edwards (232m) and To'o (222m) topped the run metres chart and combined for the match-sealing try.
Left-edge duo Casey McLean and Tom Jenkins also stood tall in the local derby. McLean scored one try and assisted another for Jenkins, while both made a number of crucial defensive plays.
