Kikau's masterclass in Origin stars' absence, Doueihi shines in Tigers' new look spine: 3 Big Hits.

With Hastings at lock, Joe Ofahengaue has moved to prop in one of the many changes. Jake Simpkin replaces Jacob Liddle on the bench, while James Roberts and David Nofoaluma have been ruled out due to illness. It was a real battle, but Viliame Kikau was outstanding.” That is class. Viliame Kikau stepped up with a masterclass to lead the depleted Panthers to victory in the absence of their Origin stars. Edwards finished with a whopping 199 run metres, which is beginning to be the norm for the Panthers fullback, while he also had four tackle busts, an offload and a linebreak assist. Kikau then scored himself off the back of a brilliant pick up off the deck to extend the Panthers lead. The Panthers retook the lead with prop James Fisher-Harris running a superb line to barge over under the posts and they held on for a famous win. The depleted Panthers beat the Tigers 18-16 in a thriller with Viliame Kikau and Dylan Edwards stepping up in the absence of seven Origin stars. Izack Tago finished off a brilliant try assist from Kikau to get the Panthers on the board. Kikau set up a try and scored another with some freak hands, while James Fisher-Harris stole the game with a late try to break the Tigers’ hearts. The Tigers burst out of the blocks with a try to winger Junior Tupou to take an early 4-0 lead.

The Origin effected Penrith Panthers head out Parramatta stadium to face off against a desperate Wests Tigers team on Sunday afternoon.

Panthers by 20.Penrith's second string still have a great culture and structure and Ivan Cleary will have them primed for victory - particularly after the corresponding 2021 fixture. My tip: Penrith's second string still have a great culture and structure and Ivan Cleary will have them primed for victory - particularly after the corresponding 2021 fixture. On paper this game looks like a lay down misere for the Panthers and it should be. James Fisher-Harris, Moses Leota and Villiame Kikau all feature and the Tigers pack in comparison face a tough test to match them. Add to that facing the Panthers, who have only lost once this season, with some of their stars missing is a boost for them but not much. It all rests on the shoulders of the ever-reliable Luke Brooks turning up and that hasn't happened often in 2022. Falls particularly was quite impressive in his debut and hopefully nothing crashes around him in this game. Luke Garner 12. Chris Smith 13. Luke Brooks 8. It is impressive they are such heavy favourites despite missing much of their team through Origin. The visitors have been firing on all cylinders.

First vs last looks on paper to be a complete mismatch but much will depend on how Penrith's posse of Origin stars come through Wednesday night.

The Panthers lead the NRL with 10,175 post-contact metres. Edwards keeps on keeping on at Penrith, churning out 218 metres per game and busting 62 tackles for the season as he provides the perfect link between flashy playmakers Cleary and Luai and tryscoring machines Brian To'o and Taylan May. As he closes in on 100 career games, Edwards continues to enhance his reputation as one of the game's elite fullbacks. Soni Luke is the new face on the bench in his third career game.
