Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg will kick off their 2020 campaign when they take on the St. George-Illawarra Dragons this Sunday, March 15 at Ziems Park in Corrimal.
Off the back of several strong performances throughout the pre-season trials, Wests Tigers will head in to Sunday's game full of confidence and determined to improve on a disappointing 2019 campaign that saw the side fall just short of finals footy.
Coach Wayne Lambkin has named a strong side for Sunday's clash against the Dragons, including 2020 Development Players Zac Cini and Reece Hoffman.
Ben Stevanovic will start at halfback while Mavoni Tuifua and Etuale Lui form a formidable front row combination. 2019 Jersey Flegg Player of the Year Felix Smith will come off the bench as he continues his comeback from injury.
