After narrow wins over the Panthers and Dragons, Wests Tigers will be looking to carry their strong form into a tough matchup against the team sitting second on the ladder.
Tim Sheens has named the same seventeen players that were originally listed to play in Magic Round, with John Bateman returning to the side after being a late omission on Sunday afternoon.
This change sees Asu Kepaoa revert to the interchange bench and Alex Seyfarth named as 18th man.
South Sydney are also unchanged following their convincing victory over the Storm at Suncorp Stadium.
Whilst the Rabbitohs hold a dominant record over Wests Tigers in recent years, the joint-venture has sprung a number of impressive upset victories including a 23-22 triumph at CommBank Stadium last season.
