Penrith have a late change, with Frank Winterstein to start in the second row, with Villiame Kikau making his long awaited return to the Panthers side from the bench. Wests Tigers also with the one late change, with Matt Eisenhuth replacing rookie Thomas Mikaele on the pine. All the buildup surrounds the Panthers coach Ivan Cleary, with many Tigers players signing long term deals last season, only to see Cleary sign for the Panthers in the NRL’s worst kept secret of 2018. The Panthers welcome back fan favourite Kikau, while the Tigers have Josh Reynolds back at five-eighth in what promises to be a classic! Stay tuned for all the action @LeagueUnlimited!
