Team List: NRL Round 20 vs Rabbitohs

There are a handful of changes to the side following last weekend’s loss to the Sharks, and still some uncertainty surrounding the fitness of Api Koroisau.

The Wests Tigers captain has been included in the extended squad and will be monitored throughout the week after being forced from the field with a calf strain against the Sharks. Tallyn Da Silva has been named in the No.9 jersey.

The only other change to the starting side is the return of 18-year-old winger Luke Laulilii. He comes in for Alex Lobb (ankle) for what will be his third NRL appearance.

Alex Twal (HIA) has been named to make his return off the bench after missing the past five games, while Alex Seyfarth is rested after sustaining a head-knock last weekend.

Latu Fainu has also been named on the interchange bench for what will be his fifth NRL appearance.  The 19-year-old half has played for Wests Magpies in the NSW Cup the past two weeks, after returning from a hamstring injury.

Also on the bench is teenage prop Jordan Miller who is in line to play just his second NRL game. The Liverpool Catholic Club junior is one of six players in the squad aged 19 years or younger.
