NRL Thursday AS IT HAPPENED: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow completes hat-trick as Dolphins score upset win over Panthers

Thanks for joining us in the blog tonight!

A fifth-straight loss for the Panthers has them in real trouble, while the Dolphins make it back-to-back victories.

Penrith go for an all-or-nothing play with time running out and Tabuai-Fidow cleans it up and runs 80 metres to score his third try of the night.

"An exclamation point for the Dolphins," Peter Psaltis said on Nine.

The hosts take it out 30-12 and the Panthers have now lost five in a row.

Time is running out now for the Panthers.

McLean comes up with an error in good-ball territory and that might be all she wrote.

An incredibly funny blunder from Bostock.

The young winger goes to kick the ball over the dead-ball line, but he shanks it straight towards a host of Panthers players and Leota plants it down.

"Where's your head at? We shouldn't laugh," Andrew Johns said on Nine.

Dolphins lead by 12 with seven minutes to go.

Penrith go on the attack but time is running out and they are still down by 18.

Tabuai-Fidow bats it dead and this Dolphins defence is next level.

Bizarre moment here at Suncorp.

Schneider passes the ball into a prone Katoa, the ball ricochets into the hands of Averillo and he pounces on it to score under the posts.

Grant Atkins sends it upstairs as a no try and the Bunker agrees.

"They changed the rule ... that's the wrong decision," Billy Slater said on Nine.

Edwards makes a break, brushing off a stack of defenders.

Cleary throws a cut-out pass for Alamoti, but the winger wasn't there and the ball bounces over the sideline.

The frustration on the Panthers halfback's face tells the story.

Panthers get a good-ball opportunity after a couple of penalties in quick succession.

Alamoti dives towards the corner post, but is sent into touch by some cover defence.

Things aren't clicking into gear again tonight for the champs.

"They are looking a little bit disjointed," Billy Slater said on Nine.

Katoa forces a dropout with a lovely grubber kick.

"He is showing maturity beyond his years," Andrew Johns said on Nine.

His crafty work didn't mean much as Penrith get it back from a short dropout.

Dolphins go on the attack early and get a couple of set restarts.

Kerr takes the line on and pops a lovely one-handed offload to Lemuelu to score.

"That pass was a thing of beauty," Peter Psaltis said on Nine.

The front-rower's silky skill gets some high praise on commentary.

"There was a big man by the name of Arthur Beetson who pulled on this jersey ... he would be very proud of that one," Billy Slater said.

24-6 now for the Dolphins.
