Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has named an unchanged side as his team searches for a third straight win this Saturday night against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.
After a strong win over the North Queensland Cowboys in Round 20, Maguire has named the same side for this week’s clash against the Bulldogs with Wests Tigers looking to win three games in a row for the first time this season.
Having played the full 80 minutes in the past two weeks, Robbie Farah will again feature as the sole hooker on Saturday with Jacob Liddle — who recently announced a contract extension with the club — listed among the reserves.
Liddle is joined on the reserves by uncapped rookie Tommy Talau, Josh Reynolds and Elijah Taylor, who is back available for selection this week after sitting out recently with a knee injury. If not selected for the NRL side this week, all four players could feature for the club's Canterbury Cup side in Round 21 with Western Suburbs taking on the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
Wests Tigers have named four forwards on the bench for Saturday’s crucial clash including Alex Twal, who will play his 50th NRL game for the club.
Wests Tigers will provide an updated 19-man team list for this week's game at 7:35pm AEST on Friday, before finalising their team one hour prior to kickoff.
