It will also be Wests Tigers first game at Campbelltown since that thumping win over the Raiders in Round 16, when Luke Laulilii scored a try on debut.
It was another two Campbelltown juniors who stood out when these teams last met one month ago, with Lachie Galvin and Tallyn Da Silva scoring Wests Tigers first two tries in the 42-28 loss to the Rabbitohs in Gosford.
![Da Silva scores against the Bunnies in Gosford](/siteassets/2024/08/15/75477396_da-silvat-try-celeb_240720-gp04293_2024720152146.jpg?center=0.3%2C0.5&preset=photo-inline)
Since that victory, the Bunnies have lost three in a row, falling to the Raiders, Sharks and Storm.
Wests Tigers are coming off a 34-18 loss to the Knights last weekend and have not sung the team song since their last trip to Campbelltown.
In team news, there will be a reshuffle to the backline with Jahream Bula to miss the rest of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery. Keep an eye on the 24-hour update to see who moves to fullback.
Aidan Seizer has shrugged off a knee injury and will take his place at halfback alongside Lachie Galvin. Luke Laulilii is called back into the side on the wing after missing two games (HIA protocol), and Sione Fainu returns to the side on bench (knee infection).

Just one change to the starting side for the Rabbitohs with Tallis Duncan coming into the back row for Michael Chee Kam (calf strain).
