Wests Tigers Team v Melbourne *Official

[Geo]

Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has named a strong side for Thursday's Round 10 clash against the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park with just one change to last week's team.

After sitting out the big win over Penrith due to concussion, versatile young forward Josh Aloiai returns on the bench in place of last week's debutant, Oliver Clark.

Aloiai joins fellow forwards Jacob Liddle, Thomas Mikaele and Michael Chee Kam on the bench for Thursday's game as Wests Tigers look to make it three straight wins over the Melbourne Storm following their two victories in season 2018.

Wests Tigers' run-on side is unchanged after producing the fastest start in club history with five tries in the opening 17 minutes of last week's Magic Round clash.

Paul Momirovski and Elijah Taylor — who travelled to Brisbane last week as part of the NRL squad — are again listed as reserves, along with Clark and Luke Garner.

Kicking off Round 10 at AAMI Park on Thursday night, Wests Tigers will travel to Melbourne tomorrow following their final training run and will provide an updated 19-man squad 24 hours before kickoff (7:50pm AEST, Wednesday). Final team lists for both sides will then be confirmed at 6:50pm on Thursday.1.

Backs all back in their original positions again? 🤔

I’d be betting they will line up as per last week

Hopefully, seemed to be a positive change. Worth another shot at least.

@WT2K great memories what a champion he was

Not sold on McQueen just yet. He's improving and doing nothing wrong, but I think we need a bit more for him to be certain starter.

Clark and Garner drop off Reserves..

MCK out for Clark... PLEASE

Clarke deserves another crack. Might be held back because it's the Storm. Madge after experience over enthusiasm.

Melbourne have made a strange call .....Sandor Earl on the bench

@BearComplex plays 80 mins. Made a linebreak and a try assist last week. Didn't miss a tackle in defence.
He will only get better.

Sorry fellas, had to announce it but getting all sorts of good vibes about tonight’s game.

Anybody else following suit? 👍♠️
Will be a tough game either way... hopefully no kinda injuries in that spine as they’ll only get better as season progresses and we do take on and gain an understanding of what it takes to be successful week in, week out. Love it

MCK out for Clark... PLEASE

I’m with you ... it wouldn’t hurt to put Taylor in against this mob instead of him either.
The only bloke we’ve got who can wrestle like them.
Can’t feel the love for MCK ... hope he proves me wrong.

@happy_tiger
Don't quote me but didn't Vunivalu get injured last week? They might need cover in case he has to come off.
