Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named his 21-man squad for Sunday’s Round 14 away game against the Parramatta Eels at Bankwest Stadium.

As the team aims for three wins in a row, Maguire has named a relatively unchanged side from the one that defeated Penrith last weekend with Maroons representative Joe Ofahengaue named to return at lock.

His inclusion sees young forward Alex Seyfarth shift back to the bench in place of Thomas Mikaele, who has been ruled out with a knee injury.

Wests Tigers are otherwise unchanged for Sunday’s game against the Eels with Moses Mbye named to play despite going off last week with a minor knee complaint. The former Queensland State of Origin utility has been named in the number six jersey for what will be the 149th NRL game of his career, once again partnering Luke Brooks at halfback.

Jake Simpkin’s return from a minor calf injury sees him named among the reserves, with Billy Walters and Development Player Kelma Tuilagi also included in the 21-man squad for the first time this year.

Both teams will provide an updated 19-man team lists at 4:05pm Saturday before finalising their sides one hour prior to kickoff (3:05pm, Sunday).

Pretty much as expected.
Bring on Sunday!

hopefully Mikaele's injury isn't too serious. he's been immense for the past 5-6 weeks. will be interesting to see if Amone plays bigger minutes because of it.

Disappointing to see Walters listed as cover for Mbye instead of Madden.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Disappointed Packer wasn’t named so he could finish the job.

I bet you would not have made this comment 5 weeks ago..
I hope he plays as he has been great with brooks in the halves and for some reason it works...

 

[finnzo]

Aside from some heavy sarcasm, there is no way anyone would have made this comment 5 weeks ago. How times have changed.

Madness..... When Madge moved AD to centre and Mbye to 6 most people thought he was off his rocks but maybe he does know how to coach :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Was a big critic of Mybe named in the halves and the constant obsession from Madge for including him on the bench despite the lack of forward punch.

But credit where credit is due...if Brooks keeps playing like this and our attack continues improving like it has, I am more than happy to continue pouring this egg on my face :+1:

Great.

If we string a few more wins together I'll be getting to the point where I hope he stays next year too! To be fair to Mbye, who is always derided as a 'jack of all trades master of none', if he can cement down this position he might become a jack of all trades and master of ONE.

Good a chance as any to beat Parra with such a key out in Mahoney. We’ve come close a couple times but if we can really go for 80 this week, I think we can get the job done
