Wests Tigers Intrust Super Premiership Coach Paul Stringer has named his side to take on the Wentworthville Magpies for their Round 8 clash on Sunday, April 24.

Kickoff for the match is scheduled for 3:00pm from Ringrose Park, with both sides looking to deliver an impressive performance coming off a bye last weekend.

Stringer's side will welcome Justin Hunt into the team for his first game of the year after suffering a back injury in the Club's final trial match against the Cronulla Sharks.

His inclusion at fullback sees the in-form Watson Heleta move to the wing to replace Josh Addo-Carr, with Michael Chee Kam moving into the centres to cover Nathan Milone.

1\. Justin Hunt
2\. Jayden Wheelhouse
3\. Chance Peni
4\. Michael Chee Kam
5\. Watson Heleta
6\. Jack Littlejohn
7\. Josh Drinkwater
8\. Rod Griffin
9\. Manaia Cherrington
10\. Jordan Grant
11\. Tyler Cassel
12\. Asipeli Fine (capt.)
13\. Joel Edwards

Interchange:
14\. Jeremy Marshall-King
15\. Dallas Graham
16\. Wesley Lolo
17\. Matt Eisenhuth
 
Wasn't expecting Hunt to be picked at fullback. I thought Rankin was being groomed to be the backup #1.
 
Anyone know much about Matt Eisenhuth?

Apparently been with Parra and Penrith as well as being an ex- Aussie Schoolboy rep.

Talented junior who's never kicked on. Mostly been playing Ron Massey in recent seasons. Don't know if he had injury problems, dont recall so.

Cheers for that info Balmain Boy.
Hopefully Stringer can get something out of him.
 
Eisenhuth had a knee reco a couple years back and has played some in Parra and Penny state cup. From what I understand his older brother was a Tigers fan before dogging us for Cronulla a couple years back!
 
ISP HALF TIME — Wests Tigers 28 (Addo-Carr 3, Chee Kam, Drinkwater tries; Drinkwater 4/5 goals) lead Wenty 4.
 
Good to see Addo-Carr putting the pressure on for a FG spot. Hope the boys go on with it.

If only he was being marked by Milone and Rankin - he'd score 6 tries in the first half.
 
FULL TIME — Wests Tigers 40 (Addo-Carr 3, @chee_kam 2, @josh_drinkwater, @asipeli3 tries; Drinkwater 6/7 goals) def. @wentymagpies 18.

Drinkwater's goal kicking would be useful. Would love to see him take Brooks's spot in first grade with Addo-Carr in for Rankin.
