Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach, Benji Marshall has named a 22-man squad to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 3.
The Tigers – fresh off a first up victory over the Cowboys – will travel to Polytec Stadium, Gosford on Saturday, 21 March – kicking off at 7.30pm.
It’s a largely unchanged lineup from the side who ran out winners in Round 2 for Marshall, with Taylan May (shoulder) the major omission, set to be replaced at right centre by Jeral Skelton.
Patrick Herbert joins the bench following a strong performance for the Western Suburbs Magpies in the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, while Tino Tavana and new recruit, Bunty Afoa have been named in the reserves.
The Wests Tigers will be wearing a Multicultural Round Jersey in Round 3, celebrating the many diverse cultures that make up the game of rugby league.
