Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named his side to take on the Melbourne Storm this Saturday at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

With Luke Brooks suspended for one match, Josh Reynolds returns to the run-on side and will start at five-eighth alongside captain Benji Marshall in the halves. Marshall will once again captain the side with Moses Mbye sidelined, while Joseph Leilua returns from an ankle injury to take his place in the centres.

Sam McIntyre earns a start in the back row with Luke Garner dropping back to the bench, while Zane Musgrove returns for his first game since picking up an injury in Round 6 against the North Queensland Cowboys.

Rookie halfback Jock Madden has been named on the extended bench alongside Tommy Talau, Jacob Liddle and Michael Chee Kam.

Well .. that line up is certainly a mixed bag lol

Part timers special !

Surprised Chee Kam ain’t getting a run !
 
Why is Grant in the 9 and Liddle out of the side when we can’t make finals and Grant has said numerous times he’ll be back with Melbourne next year?

Why is Lawrence anywhere near first grade? Good servant or not, he should of hung them up years ago!

Packer and Reynolds back in is also laughable. Think Madge has lost the plot
 
By naming Packer & Reynolds maybe Maguire is allowing them to show their wares to other NRL or Super League clubs that maybe interested in signing these two (not that many are lining up to sign either of them)??

Madge has to save face from backing him and Packer up when they took off at Brookvale
 
One of the worst team sheets I’ve seen all year from us especially in the circumstances and where we are in the year. Appalled to be honest. Maguire taking the piss or something

You would think so.

Also possibly testing the waters to see how we play with a big bench full of forwards next year. However I would expect a late change with Liddle coming in for one of them.

I think its great to play Reynolds and Packer. Give them a chance to improve the relationship with the club. See if we can get some use of them next year, not a total waste.

Would've maybe given 'AJ' a shot at fullback, or at worst Nof

Doueihi back to #4 and Lawrence into starting second row to spell for Garner, McIntyre to lock for impact - Twal to #10 and Mikaele to bench.

DEFINITELY would be looking to give Liddle more minutes... MCK might've been a more useful benchie than Luke.

Don't think TT can handle centres ATM!! The best thing is Packer having his nose rubbed in it... think J Rey's a safer bet than Madden at this stage
 
Agree we need to show case Reynolds and Packer for suitors. McIntyre and AJ in starting line up Happy with that. Madden will get his chance next year no need to rush him.

Liddle - is an interesting one. Not taking any risks till next year.

He doesn’t need more rest he’s had enough of it in recent years and weeks for that matter. He needs game time.
 
I dont mind it. McIntyre earns his spot. Good to see Musgrove back. A big bench is needed to take the boppers of the Melbourne Storm. Liddle is a weird one. Tommy Talau I wouldve liked to see instead of Lawrence but he is nursing a knee and hamstring injury.
