It's been a while since we've seen a father-son rivalry in rugby league.

But next weekend, Ivan Cleary's Tigers will take on the Panthers - with son Nathan in the halves.

Nathan has already joked that there's a lot riding on the game.

"It's been mentioned," he said.

"We just joked about it today before the game and said we'll see what happens this week. I might not be getting fed."
