A Wests loss will see the Tigers' finals hopes dashed and all but secure a Top 8 spot for the Panthers. If Penrith fall, however, they will drop back into the logjam and the Tigers will go level. Should be a tight one. Feel the Tigers will be primed for an early start, but Penrith have shown themselves to be massive forces in the 2nd half. Penrith by 4.

Good evening and welcome to League Unlimited's Live Update of this critical clash of the West between the Panthers and Tigers! The home side have just the one change, Chris Grevsmuhl is in for Jeremy Latimore on the bench. The Tigers, on the other hand, are unchanged but as publicised there is no Tedesco.
