The Wests Tigers return to Lidcombe Oval this Saturday at 12.00pm to host the Manly Sea Eagles for Round 16 of the Jersey Flegg Cup.
The orange, black, and white will be determined to maintain their standing in the top four after falling short last week against the Roosters.
The Tigers started slow, conceding twice in the opening 10 minutes before wrestling their way back into the contest to tie it up at 12-all at the break. The Roosters proved too strong in the end, claiming a 26-18 victory.
Kit Laulilii makes his long-awaited return to the field, lining up in the front row alongside Sione Lolohea.
Pheonix Godinet comes into the back row, whilst Denzel Schaafhausen-Mino replaces Peter Taai at lock.
Heith Pritchard remains in the halves, wearing the #7 with Sonny Edwards-Moeke at five-eighth.
A pair of changes to the backline sees Jack Nicholas and Logan Brookes start on the wings.
