Team List: NRL Round 17 v Knights
Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach, Benji Marshall has named his 22-man squad to travel to McDonald Jones Stadium and take on the Newcastle Knights for Round 17 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
Kicking off at 4.05pm on Sunday, the Tigers will be aiming to bounce back into the winner’s circle after last week’s loss to the Dolphins at Campbelltown.
Round 17 is also Beanies for Brain Cancer Round – which celebrates its 10th anniversary – raising funds and awareness for the Mark Hughes Foundation.
The side sees a pair of key inclusions this week, with Adam Doueihi (shoulder) and Alex Twal (knee) returning to the starting lineup after stints on the sideline.
A shoulder injury to Patrick Herbert means Starford To’a shifts to centre following a strong performance last week, with Jeral Skelton named on the wing.
