Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach Jason Taylor has named his side to take on the Melbourne Storm for their Round 7 match this Sunday at Leichhardt Oval.

Kickoff for the match is scheduled for 4:00pm AEDT as Taylor's side look to bounce back from a close 18-16 defeat against the Newcastle Knights last weekend.

With captain Aaron Woods ruled out of the match with injury, Dene Halatau and Chris Lawrence will co-captain the side this week, with new faces to also come into the side.

1\. James Tedesco
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Nathan Milone
4\. Kevin Naiqama
5\. Jordan Rankin
6\. Mitchell Moses
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Ava Seumanufagai
9\. Robbie Farah
10\. Tim Grant
11\. Dene Halatau
12\. Chris Lawrence
13\. Sauaso Sue

14\. Josh Aloiai
15\. Curtis Sironen
16\. Kyle Lovett
17\. Joel Edwards
18\. Jack Buchanan
19\. Michael Chee-Kam
 
Milone wouldn't get a contract anywhere else if he was playing for free but allegedly is our third best centre?!!! Ohhhh boy…
 
Good to see Joel Edwards there. Going to need someone get up and in the face of Cronk, & Smith.
No doubt Cameron Smith will once again dictate to the ref's, as he see's fit.

Even if wests-tigers lose, **as long as storm players walk away from game, battered, bruised and bleeding, I will be satisfied.**
 
I don't think Milone was bad last week so I have no issues with that. The starting pack isn't bad but the bench looks weak.

We need front rowers on the bench that can have some impact. Buchanan though looks like the only front rower and he shouldn't be there.
 
Trying to stay positive here. I'm really glad Edwards is in the 17\. I hope he takes his chance & does a "Napa" for us. We really need someone who can intimidate & hold the middle, even if its only when Grant is off for that 15 min period before & after half time.

Could it be that MCK is back-up for Siro in case he gets some time for his high tackle? Or is Sue/Lovett/Milone in doubt due to injury cloud? I know Sue may have concussion issues.

Buchanan at 18th man is a bit of a worry. In a perfect world, Lovett or Milone drop out for MCK, Buchanan stays in NSW cup.
 
Meh its probably Taylors last or second last team selection anyway, won't be here for long based on results.TT Said that he would be gone if his record was poor to start the season.
 
Sirro wasn't even charged.

Surely MCK is on standby for Milone. Make them train their bums of at 150% this week and see who can fit into the backline easier.

He wasn't bad but he also offered nothing other than just being there. We need a centre that will actually question the defense and not drop the ball in scoring chances

I cant see why all the attention is on Milone again. Halatau???

Have to agree there poor OLD Dene just makes up the numbers and unfortunately that goes for about 50% of the selected team.
 
Taylor is a deadest moron, he barks on about poor performance's and does nothing, Milone, what the hell, this coach is doing my head in.
Please WestsTigers board get rid of this imposter coach and get us one with a football brain and some balls.
 
ITS OFFICIAL JT is a moron, how the hell could u pick milone on last weeks effort, then again how could u pick him on last years efforts.please MR ONEILL step in and sack this clown.
 
Hard to believe we don't have anyone better.

Can understand why he picked milone again….obviously he does not want to crush the kids spirit by dumping him after 1 game. But if you want to win then there is no room for sentiment.

Good to see Edwards on the bench but I think Cheekam should also be in the 17.

There are another 2 young frontrowers in NSW Cup at the moment and Griffin....surely 1 of those is better than buchannan.

Anyway JT lives in his own world and the players are in there own world as well.....so why should be care.

Gonna start getting pretty ugly at WT if we start going 5,6,7,8 games without a win.

Ugly times ahead.
