Wests Tigers will formally celebrate the milestones of Chris Lawrence and Benji Marshall as they take on the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs this Sunday afternoon at Bankwest Stadium.

Having first played together in 2006, Marshall and Lawrence have been icons of Wests Tigers despite different career paths, and became just the second and third player to reach the 250-game milestone in Wests Tigers colours when they ran out against the Newcastle Knights in their most recent match.

With Wests Tigers now at home, the pair will be formally celebrated throughout the day with a special on-field presentation to the duo after the game.

Please note that Bankwest Stadium is enforcing social distancing, cashless transactions and mobile-only ticketing along with revisions to their food and beverage packages.
