Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has named his side for Sunday’s clash against St. George Illawarra Dragons at WIN Stadium.
Starford To’a fills in for Daine Laurie at fullback, after the latter suffered an MCL injury during last Saturday’s win over the Rabbitohs and will miss 4-6 weeks.
Oliver Gildart comes into the starting side at centre after featuring off the interchange bench last weekend.
Kelma Tuilagi has recovered from a non-COVID-related illness in time to take his place in the starting 13, meaning Alex Seyfarth drops back to the interchange bench.

I would have preferred Peachey to Gildart but otherwise it is what it is. Horribly down on troops at the moment.

Hoping for Jake over Jacob by gameday ....

Joel and Fletch were on SEN yesterday basically saying prayers for Gildart. "He's a nice bloke but can't tackle."
They expect Lomax to have a day out on the Dragons right side matching up on him.
I think Peachey is a better option on the bench over Seyfarth. We need outside back cover. In the HIA era you simply cant afford not to cover all positions.
I see Tuki is named in the Flegg side. Had high hopes for him, has an offload.
Wests Tigers have won their last 4 matches against the Dragons 😳

Look at how much better we were v Parra over the entire time Simpkin was out there ...he engages the D .....Liddle rarely does ...he just passes and occasionally runs

Made a great tackle to save the game, I’d give him another game for that effort.

Liddle played really well v Souths ....but we either clicked v Souths or looked really clunky .....Parra we purred

Yeah, I agree mate, but it seems that Peachey really is stuck in the naughty corner...
