Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named an unchanged team for his side’s Round 15 clash against the Sydney Roosters at Leichhardt Oval.

After a last-start win over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Maguire has opted for the same 17 for Saturday’s clash against the Tricolours but could welcome back key forwards Alex Twal and Thomas Mikaele from injury.

Neither Twal or Mikaele played in Sunday’s 29-28 win over the Bulldogs, with their potential return a positive boost for the home side heading in to Saturday’s game.

Wests Tigers were convincing 48-0 winners in their last appearance at Leichhardt Oval (Round 10 vs. Brisbane Broncos) with Saturday’s fixture the club’s final home game at the suburban venue this year.

Assuming Twal and Mikaele will have to get through captains run to be moved into the starting team. Hoping Taylor and Seyfarth make way for those two

 

[the_third]

I can feel a forum meltdown coming

 

[Tigerdave]

The halves are killing me

 

[hobbo1]

Bench is average again ☹️

 

[TigerVinnie]

When the extended bench is more impressive than the actual bench.... Would expect Twal and Mikaele to come in if fit, Madge pulling a smokey.

 

[tiger05premier]

No Blore at all

 

[TheDaBoss]

I can hear it now...its comming....ita the voices of fans saying this team sucks and that we are going to be done in.....

 

[Speed2burn]

Unless Mikaele and Twal come in for Taylor and Seyfarth we’ll get rolled

 

[Tcat]

Not sure about Taylor, hopefully Twal needs to prove he is fit and if so, he should replace Taylor.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Bench is average again ☹️

Highly unlikely the bench is 14-17.

 

[TheDaBoss]

I can feel a forum meltdown coming

🍿 want some?

I dunno
Madge is stubborn

Madge taking the piss omitting Blore. I can see him being 18th man if we're at full strength, but he's definitely better than a bunch of guys who were named.

 

[WT2K]

Hopefully Twal and Mikaele get through captain's run and replace seyfarth and Taylor.

 

[OzLuke]

no blore again???

 

[Needaname]

Man that’s still a hot side. 😢

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Blore has probably been told pull your head in and stip reading press, he will have next year to prove himself. I think he has an attitude problem im sure Madge will sort it

 

[Moh]

Must be really good reasons around leaving out Blore and I'd like to hear those.
