They may be out of the Finals race but Wests Tigers are already looking toward a clash with the 9th place Penrith Panthers after ending Gold Coast’s season on Sunday.

Another victory next weekend against the Panthers will make Penrith’s task of making the playoffs even tougher.

“I think the biggest thing for us is to make sure we commit to the game plan and to stick to the things we do well,” Tui Lolohea told the Wests Tigers website.

“We need to stick at it and keep getting better.

“The Panthers are going to be a tough ask for us next week, they’re a quality team on the edge of the eight, so we’re going to look forward to what that game has for us.”
