Show Preview
The table-topping Penrith Panthers renew their cat-fight against the Wests Tigers. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:35pm (AEST).
Penrith will be looking to extend their winning streak to 11 matches, already a club record. The Tigers will be right up for this one, as they were when pushing the Panthers all the way in a 19-12 loss earlier in the year.
The mountain men have lost their two Fijians for this one, with influential rake Api Koroisau and impact back-rower Viliame Kikau injured and suspended respectively. The Panthers have enough depth to suggest they can cover these losses though, with back-up hooker Mitch Kenny doing well in his limited opportunities to impress so far this year.
The Panthers are closing in on the minor premiership, with a three-point gap now opened up on Melbourne. Complacency is unlikely to be a factor this week, given the chance to kick further clear of the chasing pack against the coach’s former team.
Since Ivan Cleary’s acrimonious split with the Tigers, there has been a fair bit of bad blood between these two teams. Tigers fans won’t have forgotten the image of coach Cleary blowing them kisses after the seven-point loss in Round 8.
Wests come into this following a lackluster 38-16 loss to the Roosters, a performance Andrew Johns labelled as pathetic. Johns commented on Nine’s WWOS that it looked like the Tigers were playing with “no soul”.
Michael Maguire’s men will need a much better performance here if they are to trouble the high-flying Panthers.
