Wests Tigers v Penrith Panthers Tips

Penrith are the strongest pick of the round because they sit 1st with a dominant record and huge points differential. The Tigers have improved compared with previous seasons, but this is a major step up in class. Penrith’s defensive structure, kicking game, and big-match control should limit Wests’ attacking rhythm. I expect the Panthers to win comfortably unless Origin fatigue becomes a major factor.
