Penrith have soaked up early pressure to steam to a 34-16 victory over Melbourne and consolidate their lead at the top of the NRL ladder, with young centre Izack Tago bagging a double.
The scene was set for a spicy battle in their Friday night clash at Marvel Stadium when polarising Panther Jarome Luai was put on report in the third minute for a tackle on Jahrome Hughes, with his Storm teammate Harry Grant taking exception to the hit.
