Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has made a few changes to his team for Easter Monday’s Round 6 match against Parramatta.

Jackson Hastings returns after serving a three-match suspension, as does James Roberts who missed last weekend’s game due a back injury.

Hastings has been named at halfback with Luke Brooks shifting to five-eighth.


Fullback Daine Laurie was a late withdrawal at Cronulla after testing positive to Covid-19. He’s serving the mandatory 7-day isolation period but has been named to play.

Jacob Liddle has been replaced at hooker by Jake Simpkin.

Ken Maumalo, Tyrone Peachey and Oliver Gildart also drop out of the starting side and are part of the 24-man squad.

I'm sure Madden will offer great versatility on the bench. :rolleyes:
I know right
Not a bad side apart from Madden on the bench. Madden should start and Brooks to bench. Brooks can cover dummy half as well.

Like that Maumolo and Peachy have been dropped. Past time.
Good for Gildart to have a stint aswell, he really seemed to struggle on Saturday.
 
We’ll see how Hastings kicking game holds up for the first 20 or so. Naming madden on the bench is interesting. It leaves the coach with about 1000 possible positional changes.
However. There is no recognised back up hooker or even utility and it’s a big ask for Jake Simpkin to play 80 agaisnt that Parra pack.
One of the halves will have to go to hooker for a bit.

This is a big issue. Simpkin isn't any better than Liddle. Neither of them have been good. They both struggle to give us 20 quality minutes per game.

Hastings to 7 is the huge call that had to happen. To'a to replace Ken is the right call.
