Team List: NRL Round 20 vs Rabbitohs​

Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall has named a 22-man squad for Saturday's Round 20 match against the Rabbitohs at Industree Group Stadium, Gosford.

There are a handful of changes to the side following last weekend’s loss to the Sharks, and still some uncertainty surrounding the fitness of Api Koroisau.

The Wests Tigers captain has been included in the extended squad and will be monitored throughout the week after being forced from the field with a calf strain against the Sharks. Tallyn Da Silva has been named in the No.9 jersey.

The only other change to the starting side is the return of 18-year-old winger Luke Laulilii. He comes in for Alex Lobb (ankle) for what will be his third NRL appearance.

Alex Twal (HIA) has been named to make his return off the bench after missing the past five games, while Alex Seyfarth is rested after sustaining a head-knock last weekend.

Latu Fainu has also been named on the interchange bench for what will be his fifth NRL appearance. The 19-year-old half has played for Wests Magpies in the NSW Cup the past two weeks, after returning from a hamstring injury.

Also on the bench is teenage prop Jordan Miller who is in line to play just his second NRL game. The Liverpool Catholic Club junior is one of six players in the squad aged 19 years or younger.

Oh Dear!....

 

[weststigerman]

Rookie move throwing Latu back in again. How do you promote guys to first grade on minutes restrictions?

 

[Tom Shines]

Faataape … no one here picks him … but there he is every week….

 

[Tucker]

Thought Papali'i was back?

 

[Demps]

3 Fainu Bros in the team !
Lesgoo

 

[Kaito]

Damn it Benji. Congrats to the 3 fainu bros though!

how is his hamstring?

 

[king_sirro]

Benji close to losing me with this team. Disgraceful selections.

 

[Kaito]

Bud couldn't even get a look in on the extended bench
after serving up 3 try assists last week that's hectic

I think this is him throwing the gauntlet down and
tasking them with a challenge before he cuts guys

 

[balmain boy]

Benji has shown he doesn't have the balls to do his job properly.

There are no consequences for actions.

No plan for developing players.

Just random chaos on a weekly basis.

Just absolutely horrible. Another 40 point flogging incoming

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Porter was one of the only players who had a serious crack against the Sharks FFS Benji

I feel like I've read posts like this for years. Always one more chance

I feel you man. Hopefully they're embarrassed enough
to show up on Saturday after last week's performance.

 

[eyewondertoo]

Basically the same side which got smashed by 50.
How does that work?

Next year things will be better

Faataape … no one here picks him … but there he is every week….

I know, what is going on there, Benji's pet

 

[Kaito]

Porter was one of the only players who had a serious crack against the Sharks FFS Benji

Possibly only changes I'd make would be him 4 Klem
and perhaps Nado at centre for Faataape as well

Twal start porter bench klem can play some cup

There is literally 5 new guys from last weeks team. The worry is 3 of them are teenagers.

And Luke Laulili was absolutely dreadful in koe cup v Newtown 2 weeks back . An absolute disaster under the high ball all game .Souths will have a field day peppering that wing with kicks . Who makes these calls? What’s it based on?
