Rookie Nathan Cleary has catapulted Penrith into the NRL top eight with a five-star individual performance in his sides 38-18 thrashing of the Sydney Roosters.The 18-year-old Cleary scored the Panthers first on Monday night, then put the result beyond doubt in the second half by setting up one of the tries of the season for Tyrone Peachey.The home side was leading 28-6 when Cleary delighted the 9,653 fans in the crowd at Pepper Stadium with a break into the backfield before kicking wide at full pace for Peachey to finish off a 60-metre effort.The win lifts the Panthers to seventh spot with just four games remaining.However the victory could come at a cost - captain Matt Moylan finished the match on the bench with blurred vision and forward Sitaleki Akauola also retired early with rib damage.The Roosters, who had chief playmaker Mitchell Pearce ruled out pre-game with a calf injury, looked competitive early when Dale Copley cancelled out Clearys show-and-go effort.However the home side took over thereafter, scoring the next six tries, including one each to Peachey and Chris Grevsmuhl to take an 18-6 lead into the sheds.Courtesy of a string of penalties against the visitors after the break, the Panthers snuffed out the match with tries to Cartwright, Waqa Blake, Peacheys pearler, and Isaah Yeo all within 17 minutes.By the time Cleary converted Yeos easy 40-metre effort from dummy half, it was 38-6.The Roosters saved some face through late tries to Daniel Tupou and Boyd Cordner, however it wasnt enough to stop them from falling to their seventh loss in eight games.Roosters coach Trent Robinson said that without his on-field general in Pearce, the Roosters rookie halves of Connor Watson and Ryan Matterson gave Penrith easy ball.When you lose your halfback and the guy that leads you around the park, its very difficult, he said.If we cant put them into awkward positions through good kicks and good pressure, then they play with more freedom. The whole 80 minutes was front-foot attack.But while Robinson was disappointed with his own playmakers, he was full of praise for Penriths own whizkid in Cleary.He was exceptional, he led from the front as an 18-year-old, he said.Panthers coach Anthony Griffin labelled it one of their best efforts of the season.It was really good, probably one of our better performances of the year under the circumstances, it was enjoyable to watch, enjoying their footy out there tonight at this time of the year, he said.But he was careful not to shower Cleary with too much credit.Hes doing a great job, his kicking games good. Ive got to give a wrap to Bryce (Cartwright), Matt Moylan, (Peter) Wallace, the guys around him. Theyre keeping him calm. Custom David Ross Jersey .

LONDON -- Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones wont play Sunday, but theres a good chance hell be the only key player sidelined.The three other Redskins players with the biggest question marks -- left tackle Trent Williams, corner Josh Norman and tight end Jordan Reed?-- participated in a light practice Friday. Both Norman and Reed, recovering from concussions, still need to see a doctor again Saturday after their walk-through to determine if theyll be able to play. Reed has missed the last two games, but Norman was hurt last week.All three players are officially listed as questionable. Williams has maintained all week that hell play with a sprained left knee and reiterated that stance Friday. Both Reed and Norman expressed optimism as well.I expect to play, Norman said.I feel great, Reed said.It would be a huge boost for Washington if both could play, especially Norman given that hell cover Cincinnati Bengals receiver A.J. Green, who leads the NFL with 50 receptions. Also, the Redskins other starting corner, Bashaud Breeland, missed two game recently because of a sprained ankle and then sprained the other one Sunday against Detroit. He had both ankles heavily taped in practice this week.Jones said he bruised his knee and suffered cartilage damage on his knee during the second quarter against Detroitt.dddddddddddd He did not practice all week and when the Redskins signed Mack Brown off the practice squad Friday, when it became clear that Jones wouldnt play.Robert Kelley?and Chris Thompson will take over for Jones, who has rushed for a team-best 460 yards and three touchdowns. Kelley, an undrafted rookie, will start in his place, but theres a good chance Thompson will have a similar type of game as last week when he carried 12 times and caught seven passes. The Redskins are reluctant to give him more work because of durability concerns. Kelleys career high in carries is five. He has rushed 17 times for 103 yards, with a long of 45, in limited action. Washingtons run game doesnt have to suffer minus Jones; Kelleys ability to plant and cut without hesitation makes him a good fit in this offense, too.Hes ready to go, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said of Kelley. He has a limited amount of work but the reps he has, hes done a good job. He runs hard and he runs physical and he has great vision. Were excited to see what hell do with more reps. Mack had a very strong preseason and that was a tough decision between Rob and Mack [in the final cuts]. Were very comfortable with Mack also. ' ' '
