St. George-Illawarra Dragons five-eighth Benji Marshall has been named to play his 250th NRL game this Sunday when his side takes on Wests Tigers at ANZ Stadium.
Marshall — who was inducted as a Life Member of Wests Tigers in 2013 after playing 201 first-grade games for the Club — had originally been named to play his 250th game last week against the Gold Coast Titans but was forced to withdraw due to a hamstring injury.
The former Kiwi international has been named to make his return from that injury this Sunday as he celebrates the milestone against the Club that he debuted for back in 2003.
With State of Origin representative Josh Dugan unavailable due to injury, Dragons Coach Paul McGregor has named Adam Quinlan at fullback with Taane Milne coming into the side.
Tyson Frizell also returns from Origin duties to take his place in the back row.
See how both Wests Tigers and the Dragons will line up for this week's game below!
