The Panthers flyer bagged his first NRL hat-trick in just his 13th appearance as Penrith ran in five unanswered second half tries in stifling heat at TIO Stadium to record their sixth win in their past nine matches and leap frog the Titans into sixth on the ladder.

Scores were locked at 12-all at half-time before the Panthers produced an 18-minute ambush in front of 8,050 fans, running in a barrage of quick tries against a shell shocked Gold Coast that is now teetering on the edge of the top eight.
Unwanted by South Sydney last year after a string of disciplinary issues, Roberts was picked up by the Panthers and exploded in his second appearance on the wing Saturday night.
Penrith coach Ivan Cleary said the 20-year-old was yet to showcase his full talent.
"He's an undoubted talent. He's got things you can't coach and not everyone has,'' Panthers coach Ivan Cleary said of Roberts.
"He's still learning the game. That's only his fifth game in any grade this year.
"He should hopefully get better.''
Panthers fullback Matt Moylan had a poor start to the night, spilling three early bombs as David Mead scored the first points.
A stepping Luke Walsh, who's bound for Super League next year, crossed for the Panthers and David Simmons scored soon after before Mead bagged his second for a 12-all halftime deadlock.
But the floodgates opened in the second half as Roberts bagged a double within five minutes. Interchange weapon James Segeyaro burst through the line to put Simmons over for his 13th try of the year.
When departing Panthers captain Kevin Kingston scored it was 36-12 after 58 minutes, capping an amazing start to the second half that put the Titans out of the contest.
Roberts completed his hat-trick in just 20 minutes when he beat some abysmal Titans defence before Albert Kelly scored a consolation try.
The Panthers have a golden opportunity to shore up a top eight spot against Parramatta next Saturday and Cleary said his side was slowly improving after a slow start to the year.
"We've struggled to score points in the beginning of second halves so it was good to put a few tries back-to-back. That was the difference in the game,'' Cleary said.
"We just want to get better and I think we're better than last year and better than we were at the start of the year.
"We said that from here on in the game's get tougher and you need to get better. That's what we're concentrating on.''
Back-rower Lewis Brown was a late withdrawal with a hamstring strain but is expected to face the Eels.
