Original Teams and Stats - https://www.thetragicblog.net/post/the-tragics-teams-wests-tigers-vs-penrith-panthers-sunday-2pm
Tigers - Adam Doueihi moves to five-eighth to partner Luke Brooks in the halves, pushing Jackson Hastings to lock and Joe Ofahengaue to prop. James Tamou returns from a calf injury on the bench. Ken Maumalo returns from a knee injury.
Asu Kepaoa replaces James Roberts in the centres and Junior Tupou replaces David Nofoaluma on the wing.
Luke Garner moves to the second row with Fonua Pole and Justin Matamua on the bench. Stefano Utoikamanu is out with a fractured wrist, replaced by Jake Simpkin joins the Tigers bench.
Panthers - Nathan Cleary, Isaah Yeo, Liam Martin, Jarome Luai, Brian To'o, Stephen Crichton and Api Koroisau are all being rested by Ivan Cleary after Origin III. Sean O'Sullivan and Kurt Falls are the new halves pairing.
Lindsay Smith joins the bench replacing Spencer Leniu.
Robert Jennings replaces Crichton in the centres, Charlie Staines replaces To'o on the wing. Mitch Kenny replaces Koroisau at hooker. Chris Smith replaces Liam Martin in the second row and Matt Eisenhuth replaces Yeo at lock. Soni Luke joins the Panthers bench.
The Tragics Tip - I think the Panthers will continue their winning ways even with their Origin stars out because the Tigers just can't seem to find a win this season.
I think it's going to be a long hard rest of the season Tigers fans, at least with Tim Sheens at the helm next year, you've got something to look forward too.
