Scully Park in Tamworth will once again host the Wests Tigers for their traditional trip to the country, with the venue set to host a match for the first time since Round 16 of the 2020 season.
On that occasion it was the Warriors who played host to the Newcastle Knights, having stayed in Tamworth extensively during the COVID-19 affected season, with Wests Tigers previously taking home games to the region in 2019 and 2018.
Saturday's game shapes a game not to be missed by those in the New England region with Wests Tigers desperate to finish their season on a winning note and spoil the top four chances of the Sharks, who have lost one of their last eight games.
