THE TIGERS NEED TO GO NINETY METRES TO WIN

Leaves it too far right
THE TIGERS ARENR DEAD YET! Luai with a beautiful cutout ball to Adam Doueihi, who turns Skelton free towards the corner
Back on radar after his first half miss
JENKINS HAS A HAT TRICK! It was a beautiful ball by Blaize Talagi to hit Casey McLean, before the centre fired out a lovely offload to give the winger his third
Another costly penalty conceded by Luai, this time for an escort metres from the Tigers line
The Panthers are just kicking the Tigers to death every time they’re on the attack
No mistake
Jarome Luai has given up a costly penalty for a dangerous tackle on Blaize Talagi as he kicked
The Panthers have found a cheat code, and its name is Tom Jenkins! The winger flies over Turuva and turns an offload to Casey McLean, but the centre steps over the sideline before he can ground the ball
The Panthers have forced a dropout from a chip kick by… Brian To'o? Turuva comically put it dead as well. Less comical is the Tigers recovering the short dropout

We’re back underway!
He hits the upright and we head to half time with a tie game
JENKINS AT THE DOUBLE! Another shift by the Panthers finds Jenkins one on one with Turuva, and he powers over the smaller winger to get the try
Panthers extremely close to scoring after Thomas Jenkins outleaped Turuva for a bomb - but no one is available in support and he makes an error
The Panthers are challenging an incorrect play the ball call. The challenge is successful and they get a penalty instead

The Tigers are in again thanks to a former Panther! The Panthers are just stripped of numbers through four short balls before Turuva gets the ball and scores in the corner
Moses Leota has been placed on report for a crusher tackle
Izack Tago has left the field for a HIA
Nails it
Luai injects himself into the game! A pinpoint grubber spits the line and sits perfectly for To’a to grab the Tigers first of the day
Squeezed it in past the left upright
They got another set but all they needed was one play! Off the scrum Cleary, Talagi and Edwards combined to strip the Tigers of numbers and allow Jenkins to score in the corner
Thomas Jenkins with a brilliant linebreak, and only desperate Wests defence stops a try at the cost of a repeat set for Penrith on their goal line
WHAT A HIT BY JERAL SKELTON!!! Forces an error from Izack Tago while Penrith were on the attack
The Tigers are challenging a call that they knocked on while contesting a kick. It is unsuccessful
We’ve already had a referee take a tumble! Still got up to penalise the Panthers for being in front of the kicker
