The Penrith Panthers and South Sydney Rabbitohs returned to the winners list last week and both will be eager to notch up a second straight victory when they meet tonight. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7.30pm (AEST).
Penrith managed to grind their way to a 12-6 victory over the Raiders last week but will need to improve if they hope to defeat the resurgent Rabbitohs.
South Sydney themselves failed to set the world on fire against the Dragons, but they still managed to post a convincing 26-6 victory over their great rivals last week.
On the back of strong play from their forwards and a lopsided penalty count, South Sydney were never threatened against the Dragons en route to securing a vital win.
The Rabbitohs however should expect a tougher assignment at the foot of the mountains tonight where Penrith are yet to taste defeat in three matches.
The Panthers have already claimed the scalps of Canterbury, Canberra and Newcastle at home and will fancy their chances of beating South Sydney tonight.
One senses however that the Rabbitohs are on the mend. Their performance against the Dragons was a step in the right direction and South Sydney may finally possess the confidence to string back to back wins together.
After flat performances of late, Sam and George Burgess managed to find some much needed form last week and will prove difficult to stop for the Panthers tonight.
Greg Inglis also seems to be getting back to his best after a very strong second half against the Dragons, scoring a try before making a huge linebreak that almost led to another four pointer.
While the Panthers have been highly impressive thus far, the Rabbitohs may have turned the corner following a poor three match losing streak and may once again turn up with enough good form to seal victory.
