PENRITH have started the new season on fire โ but superstar Nathan Cleary says heโs still got 30 percent improvement in him.
The Panthers have won both their matches so far, running up 52 points and conceding just six. They travel to Allianz Stadium to take on Sydney Roosters on Friday.
โYeah I feel, maybe, 70 percent if I had to put a number on it,โ Cleary told ABC in the wake of a convincing 26-6 win over Cronulla at Bathurst.
โThereโs still a long way to to go.
โThereโs still a few periods, particularly to finish the game, that I wasnโt happy with but I think as a whole, as a group, our control was quite good.
โThereโs obviously a lot of room for improvement but our connection and turning up for each other, our willingness in defence really sets us up for good performances.
โWeโve just got to keep investing in that week-in, week-out.โ
Cleary said forwards interchanging passes in centrefield was โprobably something we do spend a lot of time on in training but until now we havenโt put it to use.
โItโs more trying to get that free-flowing footy and allowing people to pass if itโs on.โ
Liam Martin returns for Jack Cogger in round three.
