Snapshot of Penrith's NRL preliminary final defeat of South Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.

SNAPSHOT OF THE SECOND NRL PRELIMINARY FINAL

* Result: Penrith 20 defeated South Sydney 16

* Key moment: With Souths clawing back and the score at 14-12, Penrith's Isaah Yeo stepped his way through the line and put Dylan Edwards over with 13 minutes to go for a crucial try.

* Key stat: Rabbitohs' hooker Damien Cook ran just five metres out of dummy-half, his worst return of the season.

* Injuries/Reports: Apisai Koroisau battled a shoulder injury but returned to the field. It is likely just a stinger for the Panthers hooker. James Fisher-Harris was placed on report for a high tackle while Zane Tetevano and Isaah Yeo could also earn the ire of the judiciary for a similar shot. Bailey Sironen hurt his knee for South Sydney, while Corey Allan battled a cork in his leg.

* What's next? Penrith play Melbourne in next Sunday's NRL grand final while South Sydney's season is over.
