NRL round 7 LIVE: Penrith Panthers v Wests Tigers, Gold Coast Titans v Manly Sea Eagles

The Tigers were disappointing against the Dragons last week.

Although the Dragons backed it up against the Warriors last night. Wow-wee. Who saw that one coming? Or the Eels getting spanked for that matter?

Anyone else 0-3 in the tipping?

They will be competitive, and Lachie Galvin’s return will lift their attack.

They host Brisbane next week.

The Panthers will be fresh off the bye and travel to North Queensland next week.

Who wins this afternoon?

Can the Wests Tigers upset the premiers a second year in a row?

I doubt it, but they will have a red-hot crack.

The Tigers do tend to lift against the teams placed higher up the ladder.

Carrington Park out at Bathurst is a cool place to watch footy.

I’ve been a few times, and always loved a cold Stone And Wood at the George Hotel afterwards.

And have you ever noticed how big the gutters are in Bathurst?

Paul Alamoti debuts for the club for the injured Taylan May. Scott Sorensen returns from a knee injury. The Tigers are 1-17.
