Tigers vs Panthers Odds

The bookies are well on the side of Penrith for this one, with Betfred slating the league leaders at 1/4. The stumbling Tigers are 10/3 for the win, and the draw in normal time is 18/1.

Team News

The Tigers are without concussion victim Sione Fainu, so in comes Mavrik Geyer in the second row.

Alex Twal is missing with a knee issue, and his place at loose forward is taken by Charlie Murray. Heamasi Makasani has overcome a shoulder problem to be named in the three-quarters.

Rugby League Odds

Ivan Cleary’s lineup is bolstered by the returns of Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo and Brian To’o in Origin week.

Izack Tago, Liam Henry and Jack Cogger will all be involved as interchanges having started last time out, while Jack Cole is included on the bench.

Paul Alamoti shifts inside to centre so that To’o can take up his usual position on the wing.

Panthers by 1-12 @ 23/10

Looking at the table alone could lead one to instantly throw their full weight behind a hefty Panthers win.

But four of the six victories in their current untouchable run have come within the 1-12 margin barrier.

Whereas they were blowing teams away in the early weeks of 2026, they are now doing the professional thing of seeing opponents off in good times and bad.

So a Wests side which won last week might well have some of the game in their favour eight days on, and for that reason I say the Panthers get over the line with minimal to spare at a tasty 23/10.
