PENRITH PANTHERS Vs WESTS TIGERS
Two teams facing each other in the positions that they will likely finish in by seasonโs end. Penrith well on their way to finishing the regular season in first because they are the best side, who play the best football, and deserve to be first. Wests Tigers will finish 9th because thatโs what they do. Another chance for Ivan Cleary to blow kisses at his former bus patrons too.
QUICK MATCH FACTS

- Penrith have scored the first try in all but one game this season, which puts the Wests Tigers 8/15 in the shade. As per usual wingers top the list and Brent Naden is the man in form. Equal leading first try scorer for Penrith โ Viliame Kikau โ is not playing this weekend.
- Brian Toโo returns this weekend and he is the man for the first try.
- Penrith arenโt quite as dominant as the last try scorer, usually because they are winning all the time. Wests Tigers match the Panthers for last try scored โ nine times โ and the Tigers wingers have five of the nine. Although no player has done it more than once.
