Wests Tigers 2019 Touch Football squads have been announced for the men's and women's competition respectively as the club looks to build on their impressive first season in the game.
Both Wests Tigers sides reached the final in 2018 with the Women winning and the Men going down in Golden Point, and with a new-look competition in 2019, it's shaping as an even bigger year for those interested in the Touch Football game.
The second year of this elite touch football tournament will expand significantly, with more NRL clubs involved, and about four times as many game days at many more stadiums around the country and in New Zealand. Games will be played as curtain-raisers to NRL matches, with broadcast details to be released shortly.
Wests Tigers will have three touch football games played prior to NRL fixtures with games taking place in Round 15 against the South Sydney Rabbitohs (June 27) and Round 16 against the Sydney Roosters at Bankwest Stadium (July 5), as well as in Round 20 against the North Queensland Cowboys at Leichhardt Oval (August 1).
