The Wests Tigers (2-9) will look for a positive return from bye week when they take on the Dragons (6-6) at WIN Stadium on Friday night.
In a statement win, St George Illawarra defeated second-placed Penrith by 12 points to move within one game of breaking into the top eight. They were partly helped by five Panthers key stats away on State Of Origin duty, while they just missed talisman Ben Hunt.
Meanwhile, Benji Marshall's team suffered their eighth straight defeat in Round 12 against the North Queensland Cowboys. The Tigers were utilising their bye weekend to try and refresh and re-focus on the task of climbing out of the bottom-two and avoiding a third consecutive wooden spoon.

There are a few changes to the squad that fell to the Cowboys in Round 12, including a new-look centre partnership and another player set to make his NRL debut.
The absence of David Klemmer (suspension) and Isaiah Papali’i (ankle) means the team will deploy a reshuffled forward pack.
Alex Twal switches from lock to prop, with both Alex Seyfarth and Justin Matamua promoted to the starting side. Sione Fainu, recalled for only his second NRL game, and Reuben Porter, poised to make his NRL debut, are among the fresh faces on the bench.
