Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to face the Sydney Roosters on Saturday night for their Round 8 clash at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Kickoff for the match is at 7:35pm AEST as Wests Tigers look to build on their last start win over the Gold Coast Titans against the defending premiers.

After undergoing fitness tests throughout the week, Benji Marshall (hamstring) has been ruled out by Head Coach Michael Maguire in a late change for the side.

With Josh Reynolds (knee) also sidelined, Ryan Matterson will shift in to the halves alongside Luke Brooks with Luke Garner moving in to the back row.

Originally named as reserves, Paul Momirovski, Jacob Liddle and Russell Packer have all been retained in the squad with David Nofoaluma dropping out.

For the Roosters, Matt Ikuvalu will come out of the side this week as he continues to recover from minor ligament damage to his knee from last week's match.

Mitchell Aubusson will come into the centres, Joseph Manu shuffles from centre to the wing in Ikuvalu's absence, while Lindsay Collins joins the bench.

Final team lists for both sides will be confirmed prior to kickoff (6:50pm, Saturday).

It’s on tomorrow isn’t it. On 9 Gem.

According to the Tigers' site, and I quote: "Kickoff for the match is at 1:10 pm AEST with live coverage via Channel 9."

thanks for posting..but use the preview on the left before hitting submit ...I normally edit these as things like the team lists don't format well onto the forum and look like a dogs breakfast...I just copy in the team list from the op and adjust it manually for any changes to the team...makes it easier to read..

P.S. if Packer does get the final bench spot he needs to stomp every Cock in red white and blue in sight..

Thanks Bwaiff for spilling the beans on Benji you nugget

 

[kiwitiger]

@happy_tiger what did he say?

 

[happy_tiger]

@happy_tiger what did he say?

Said he played golf with Benji yesterday and wouldn't be playing today

Unprofessional

 

[kiwitiger]

@happy_tiger agree. Unprofessional. However I would not expect anything else from him really. Players have to be careful what they tell others in the media even if they are ex teammates

Thanks Bwaiff for spilling the beans on Benji you nugget

lol Bwaith spilled nothing ..he was already ruled out at 7:35pm yesterday...

After undergoing fitness tests throughout the week, Benji Marshall (hamstring) has been ruled out by Head Coach Michael Maguire in a late change for the side.

Keep up...lolololo

It wasn't a scoop... it was already common knowledge.

He is truly crap
