Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has made several changes to his side to take on the Newcastle Knights for their Round 10 clash at Suncorp Stadium.
Moses Mbye has been named at five-eighth for the second time this season — with Adam Doueihi swapping places to centre — while Tommy Talau’s return from suspension sees him take the place of Zac Cini, who drops out of the 21-man squad.
Jacob Liddle has been named to start at hooker for the 50th game of his career, while interchange forward Thomas Mikaele will also bring up the half century of games — all of which have been played in Wests Tigers colours.
Young halfback Jock Madden will become Wests Tigers Player #244 after being named alongside Mikaele on the bench with Shawn Blore set to play his first NRL game of the year.
Blore’s inclusion sees Stefano Utoikamanu drop back to the reserves, alongside Michael Chee Kam, Jake Simpkin and Tom Amone.
Wests Tigers and Newcastle will once again play for the Allan McMahon Shield — named in memory of the former Balmain player and inaugural Knights Coach — with Wests Tigers holding a slender four-point lead following their win over Newcastle in Round 3.
