Saturday, 29th of August, 7:35 PM, NRL Round 16, Panthers Stadium, Penrith, Penrith Panthers versus Wests Tigers Match Fixture
The Panthers showed why they’re competition favourites last week after hammering the Sharks, whilst the Tigers copped a belting from the Roosters on home soil. The Panthers will be looking to notch up another win to bring them closer to the minor premiership. The Tigers are still in the hunt to play finals football, but another loss would see them kiss their hopes goodbye.
