Wests Tigers players are heading out to junior rugby league clubs over the next fortnight in preparation for the club's annual Junior League Appreciation Round.
The club will be using its next home game against St George Illawarra Dragons to acknowledge, celebrate and thank the thousands of players and volunteers within Wests Tigers Junior Rugby League Districts.
Every NRL player will be involved with the junior footy activation over the next two weeks, some visiting local clubs in the Balmain District, and others attending the Macarthur region’s Junior Rugby League Grand Final Day.

I know from experience that having NRL players come out to your club is really inspiring."
