Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named an unchanged team for his side’s Round 4 clash against the Gold Coast Titans this Sunday.

Playing at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday night — the Titans’ new home under COVID-19 measures — Wests Tigers will head into the clash with the same 17 that produced a strong win over Cronulla in Round 3, with week’s club debutants Harry Grant and Alex Seyfarth both retaining their spots in the side.

Josh Reynolds, Michael Chee Kam, Corey Thompson and Matt Eisenhuth round out the 21-man squad having been named as reserves.

Wests Tigers will provide an updated 19-man team list at 6:30pm AEST on Saturday, June 6 before finalising their 17-man side one hour prior to kickoff.

Looking forward to seeing them tough out a good hard game and put in a hefty margin over the Titans.

 

[TheDaBoss]

Hopefully we put a big margin on for our for and against

 

[jadtiger]

Not suprising,lets hope they can put it together for 80 mins

 

[Bones]

A good chance this week to show our right side defence can get the job done. If they can’t get it done this week we are in real trouble when we face the Raiders.

 

[WT2K]

As expected. Game like this will tell me if we've progressed or not.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Musgrove out of favourite??

 

[Moh]

Bench has to change IMO. Really added nothing, and yes I know it's hard to make changes to a winning side.

Hopefully a late switch or two.

I'm still concerned about the bench. It almost let us down against the Sharks. We lost all momentum when Aloiai and Mikaele came off and I still don't see any balance in that bench. Seyfarth for mine wasn't bad enough to lose his spot, but I don't think he did enough to retain it.

We can't underestimate the Titans as they've had the wood on us the last few years and they've still got some sizeable and handy forwards. I fear this bench is going to cost us.

Which is why I wrote the post questioning Musgrove’s omission. We need his aggression at the 20-25 minute mark. Maybe his defence is too loose??

Maybe Madge doesn't want to change a winning formula??

Mate who am I to argue with Madge? He would have his reasons.

Hard to change a winning team. Musgrove probably not mobile enough for these new rules - I’m sure Madge is telling him to drop some kilos and improve his fitness and he’ll be back thought Clark was solid but didn’t see Seyfarth do much

I'd wager he came back from isolation a bit on the heavy side and Seyfarth ripped into training. I'd prefer to see a prop rotation that balances Aggression and work rate. I'm not sure what the reason is, but I'm sure it will bring us undone at some point.

It is a fair question though....Musgrove would certainly add something off the bench to complement the size of our forwards....

There will be a day when everyone will be extremely happy with the team the Coach has picked ...however that day pigs will fly the cow will jump over the moon and the Sun will not rise in the morning..

Musgrove doesn’t seem mobile enough for these new rules and I definitely think that’s why Madge has played Clark and Seyfarth. Hopefully he trains hard drops some weight and can get back in contention for a spot.

Someone posted the other day Musgrove apparently came back from lockdown overweight.

Mate don’t get me wrong - I have absolute trust in Madge. He has forgotten more than I’ll ever know. I do like Musgrove though. Think he adds aggression we have been missing for a long time.
