Wests Tigers NYC Holden Cup Coach Willie Peters has named his team to take on the New Zealand Warriors for their Round 25 clash this Sunday, August 28.
Kickoff for the match is at 11:45am AEST (1:45pm local time) from Mount Smart Stadium as Wests Tigers look to build off last week's stunning upset over the competition-leading Penrith Panthers and continue their push towards a possible top four finish.
With just two games remaining in the regular season, Wests Tigers sit in sixth spot on the Holden Cup ladder but are just two points of the third-placed Sydney Roosters.
In good news for the side, fullback Daniel Roberts has been named to play after being the victim of a nasty tackle last week which resulted in him being stretchered from the field.
Mark McCormack also returns from injury in the back row, with Junior Kiwi international Esan Marsters moved to the centres to cover for Tony Tali (Intrust Super Premiership).
Jack Wheelhouse will again captain the side as they look to make it back-to-back wins over the New Zealand Warriors following a 26-12 win when they met back in Round 1.
