Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named an unchanged team for his side’s Round 8 clash against the Penrith Panthers this Saturday at Bankwest Stadium.
After back-to-back victories, Wests Tigers will head in to Saturday’s game with an identical side and just one change to the overall 21-man squad with Russell Packer returning from suspension in place of Reece Hoffman.
With government restrictions on crowds lifting as of July 1, Wests Tigers will have a crowd of up to 7,000 Members in attendance at Bankwest Stadium on Saturday — the club’s first home game this season officially played in front of a crowd.
Both sides will provide updated 19-man team lists on Friday evening before finalising their team lists one hour prior to kickoff (6:35pm, Saturday).

Oh no… Adam Gee as referee. Gonna be a 6 again-athon. He’s been worse than Perenara this year
-
Great to see Mikaele named
-
7,000 crowd, I thought I read elsewhere 7,500.
Either way, good to see fans come back.
When do we get our cardboard cut-outs back?

Packer there to cover Mikaele if he isn’t fit to play. Besides that don’t see the team changing

Taylor will have to be careful. Perenara pinged him for 6 again as soon as he saw him on the field.

No surprises with the side named. Massive test though so I hope the boys are up for it.

I think we match up quite well this week. This will be a close game, with plenty of big contact.
I think Doueihi’s positional play throughout will be key to us getting a result, the chin was very good with his attacking kicks last week and they have the speed to finish things off. -
