Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach, Benji Marshall has named a 22-man squad to battle it out with the New Zealand Warriors in Round 4 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
The Tigers will head to Go Media Stadium, Auckland to face the Warriors for a 8.00pm NZDT (6.00pm AEDT) kick off on Friday, 27 March as they look to bounce back from a hard-fought loss to South Sydney in Round 3.
With Jarome Luai sidelined by a knee injury, Jock Madden moves into the halves to partner Adam Doueihi – who has been named after being cleared of injury following last weekend’s clash in Gosford.
Sunia Turuva remains in the centres, with Jeral Skelton, Heamasi Makasini, Luke Laulilli and Jahream Bula making up the Tigers back five.
Bunty Afoa joins forwards Sione Fainu, Royce Hunt and Alex Seyfarth on the bench, with Faaletino Tavana also joining the six-man interchange.
The Wests Tigers will again be wearing their Multicultural Round jersey, celebrating the many diverse cultures that make up the game of rugby league.
