Wests Tigers NYC Holden Cup Coach Willie Peters has named his side to take on the Newcastle Knights this Saturday, May 21 for their Round 11 clash at Campbelltown.
Kickoff for the match is at 10:40am as Wests Tigers look to extend their unbeaten run to seven consecutive games and further consolidate second spot on the Holden Cup ladder.
After another convincing win over the Bulldogs last weekend, Peters has been forced to make several changes to this week’s side with Junior Kangaroo props JJ Felise (promoted to NRL) and Junior Tatola (ankle) both unavailable for Saturday’s game. Taniela Paseka and Ray Stone replace the duo in the starting side, with Mark McCormack and Toa Mata’afa also included in the run-on side to replace Ryland Jacobs and Esan Marsters (promoted to ISP).
Co-captain Jack Wheelhouse returns from an ankle injury to start the match at lock, with Lenny Sauni, Trent Pye and Rhys Sciglitano all named on a four-man interchange bench.
