The match will mark the joint-venture’s return to Sydney following five weeks on the road travelling to Newcastle, Wollongong, Tamworth, Canberra and Hamilton.
Tim Sheens has made no changes to the squad that narrowly lost to the Warriors last weekend, with Daine Laurie retaining his position at five-eighth after a stellar display.
Laurie and his halves partner Luke Brooks will both be playing their final home game for the club before switching colours ahead of the 2024 season.
A series of concussions have forced Wayne Bennett into several changes, with Connelly Lemuelu, Kenny Bromwich and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow all omitted from the clash.
Wests Tigers fans attending the match are encouraged to get to CommBank Stadium early to watch our NRLW squad face off against the St George Illawarra Dragons at 12:50pm.
