Wests Tigers’ NSW Cup squad will look to bounce from consecutive tough losses when they take on the Cronulla Sharks at Remondis Stadium this Saturday.

Separated only by points difference with the Sharks after 10 rounds, NSW Cup Head Coach Paul Fletcher said that this week’s match against the defending premiers would no doubt be a tough match, but one that they could certainly handle.

With players returning from injury and suspension in NRL, Wests Tigers have the luxury of welcoming back Joel Luani, Keith Lulia and Sitaleki Akauola into their NSW Cup squad, while Nathan Brown and Jack Buchanan partner together once more in the front row.

Would have liked Potter to persist with Sitaleki in first grade - sad that he's been dropped

I look at it this way…the fact he is in NSW Cup means the FG team players are coming back into the top side. Sitaleki has alot to learn based on his last 2 performances..if he does this in NSW Cup he will be a gun next year
 
Sita needed a break. He was losing focus in NRL for large patches.

Stevens is from Ron Massey Cup.

Only seen them run around 3 times this season but he looks to be a effective distributor with a nice kicking game
 
i think Stevens will struggle with the extra speed of the game , only time will tell. Asipelli Fine into the back row is no surprise as hes played there most of this year and last. I think the lucky one to still be there is Taukafa in the centres, continually has bad reads in defense and does not possess the ability to pass to any supports. Last week 2 bad reads resulted in Manly tries and fumbled in the ply the ball on a kick return forfeiting possession, looks to be a regular offender in this area.Unlucky was Jennings made no errors solid coming back from injury.
 
Koroibete now has a double after standing up Gardner and leaving him clutching at air. 22-6 ktc.
