Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named an unchanged team for his side’s Round 19 clash against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles this Saturday at Suncorp Stadium.
Junior Pauga and Tuki Simpkins — who both impressed on debut against the Broncos last week — have retained their respective places in the squad as Wests Tigers look to deliver back-to-back wins for the first time since Round 13.
After becoming the club’s all-time leading try-scorer on Sunday, David Nofoaluma is now set to become the 10th most capped player in Wests Tigers history, passing Life Member and Premiership Winner Bryce Gibbs (156 games played for the club).
With an unchanged side named, hooker Jake Simpkin is the only new face in the 21-man squad as he joins the reserves list alongside Michael Chee Kam, Alex Seyfarth and Shawn Blore.
For the Sea Eagles, Coach Des Hasler will welcome back representative stars, Daly Cherry-Evans, Jake Trbojevic, Tom Trbojevic and Josh Aloiai — bringing about a number of changes in the side. Reuben Garrick reverts to the wing, Josh Schuster moves to the second row and Karl Lawton drops out of the squad.
