NRL LIVE updates: Wests Tigers take on Raiders at Campbelltown
NSW five-eighth Jarome Luai is back in action a couple of nights on from the Blues' two-point loss in Origin II, as his Wests Tigers search for a win that would put them in touch with the NRL's top eight.
But it won't be easy against Ricky Stuart's high-flying Raiders, sitting in second place on the ladder. With bullocking winger Savelio Tamale joining Albert Hopoate on the sidelines, Stuart has handed an NRL debut to his son Jed who will line up on the wing for the Green Machine.

Player agents Nash Dawson and Chris Orr ‘fail to co-operate' with NRL integrity unit over serious breach
The NRL have proposed heavy bans and fines to two player agents over an alleged physical altercation over a year ago. Agents Nash Dawson and Chris Orr have five days to respond after they both issued with show cause notices for alleged breaches of the Accredited Agent Scheme Rules. The NRL has proposed a nine-month suspension and $15,000 fine for Dawson, and a six-month suspension and $10,000 fine for Orr. The league also said both agents failed to co-operate over the incident. 'The notices allege that both agents have breached the NRL Accredited Agent Scheme Rules and the Accredited Agents' Code of Conduct following a physical altercation between the agents at the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships in 2024,' the NRL said in a statement. 'It is also alleged the agents failed to co-operate with the NRL Integrity Unit.' The pair were reportedly involved in a scuffle outside a pub in Port Macquarie during a schoolboy carnival in 2024. Dawson has a number of high-profile clients including Reece Walsh, Ezra Mam and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, while Orr's clients include Jahrome Hughes, Selwyn Cobbo and Dylan Brown.

NRL player agents Chris Orr and Nash Dawson face huge fines and bans after altercation
Two leading NRL player agents are facing six and nine-month bans and $25,000 in fines after allegedly being involved in an altercation at a schoolboy rugby league carnival. Chris Orr and Nash Dawson were hit with breach notices by the NRL on Thursday after an investigation into the incident during the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League Championships in 2024. Orr, who represents Storm star Jarrome Hughes and Newcastle recruit Dylan Brown, and Dawson, who manages Broncos duo Reece Walsh and Ezra Mam, were cited for breaching the NRL Accredited Player Agent Scheme rules and the Accredited Agents' Code of Conduct. It is also alleged the agents failed to co-operate with the NRL Integrity Unit. In a statement, the NRL declared the agents were 'required to operate with high personal and professional standards' and failed to do so. It's understood the two agents had a physical altercation outside a Port Macquarie pub last year while they were in town for the underage championships. They pair have five business days to respond to the breach notice.

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary warns rivals of more improvement to come
Penrith coach Ivan Cleary is saying all the things that should create a little bit of fear among the NRL frontrunners as his team looks to make it eight wins straight against the Titans on Saturday. The four-time reigning premiers are still 'hunting' after their shock slow start, can still 'get a lot better' and have several dominant seasons worth of late-season success driving a growing confidence they can contend for five. Having spent time on the bottom of the NRL ladder in 2025, Cleary and his men know the job remains ahead of them to just stay in the top eight, with matches against top-four teams the Storm, Raiders and Bulldogs in the run to the finals. But what Cleary has seen in recent weeks, and past years, as well as what his players have done, has given him confidence about what's to come for his side that sits just outside the top four. 'Even over the last seven weeks our performances have continued to grow and I feel like there's more in us,' he said on Thursday. 'We've come through the Origin period where you team is just not together, sometimes they play, but they don't train throughout the week, so in terms cohesion and connection, I definitely think we can get better. It's exciting times for us.' Cleary said there was 'definitely' a confidence that came with previous achievements, if only as a reminder to his players what they were capable of when they put the work in. 'We've got confidence from the past in terms of the core of our team have produced in big games over many years,' he said. 'But also this team, new circumstances, and it has grown in confidence over the last couple of months. 'If we can connect all of that together, it gives us a lot of belief we continue to work hard on the fundamentals. We have got a lot of belief that will hold up when it counts.' But Cleary also knows his team needs to maintain the desire that has propelled them back to this point. 'We have come from the bottom and we are still in the bottom of the eight. We feel like we are still hunting,' he said. 'I'm honestly not really worrying about the ladder. We are worrying about the Titans. 'We will finish where we deserve. If that's in the eight, then a new competition begins.'
