Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has named his 24-man squad for Friday's Round 11 match against Canterbury Bulldogs at Leichhardt Oval.
One-club-player Alex Twal will run out for his 100th NRL game, once again being named on the interchange bench.
Brent Naden could also make his Wests Tigers debut on Friday against his former club after today being released by Canterbury. The 26-year-old has joined Wests Tigers for the remainder of this season and 2023.
Recent recruit Fa’amanu Brown is in line to play his first game for the club after being named to make his debut off the bench.
The 27-year-old has played 36 NRL games with Cronulla and Canterbury-Bankstown and recently returned to Australia after a stint in the UK Championship with Featherstone.
Jake Simpkin’s first-half concussion against North Queensland has forced him out, with Jacob Liddle taking his place at hooker.
Luke Brooks has a hamstring complaint and has been ruled out, with Jock Madden starting at five-eighth.
AJ Kepaoa returns from his COVID-enforced break to play centre, meaning Luke Garner shifts to the second row with Kelma Tuilagi moving to the interchange bench.
Alex Seyfarth and Junior Pauga drop off the interchange bench to the reserves list.
