Wests Tigers Intrust Super Premiership side will look to keep their season alive when they take on the Wyong Roos in an Elimination Final this Sunday afternoon.

After missing the chance for a week off in last Saturday’s Qualifying Final defeat to the Illawarra Cutters, Paul Stringer’s side will now look to book a spot in the semi-finals when they take on Wyong, who themselves overcame an Elimination Final last week.

The Roos moved into Week Two of the Intrust Super Premiership finals series with a thrilling 19-18 Golden Point win over the Canterbury Bulldogs, and will head into Sunday’s game with plenty of confidence they can continue their recent form having won four of their last five.

Both teams have been boosted by NRL experience for the contest, with the likes of Josh Addo-Carr, Joel Edwards, Curtis Sironen, Eloni Vunakece and Zane Tetevano all named.

When these two sides met during the year, it was Wests Tigers who emerged victorious on both occasions — defeating the Roos 44-16 in Round 3 and 24-22 in Round 10.

The winner of Sunday’s Elimination Final will go on to play Mounties in a semi-final.
