Wests Tigers v Eels

Monday, 4.00pm at Accor Stadium

Wests Tigers: The Tigers are 1-17 with no late changes on game day. Joe Ofahengaue was added to the bench at the expense of Justin Matamua on Tuesday while Adam Doueihi will partner Luke Brooks in the halves. Charlie Staines will play fullback. Asu Kepaoa has been named on the wing but could potentially swap with Starford To'a throughout the game. Matamua is 18th man.

Eels: The Eels are 1-17 with no late changes. Forward Shaun Lane returns after missing the opening five games due to a broken jaw suffered in the Pre-season Challenge so J'maine Hopgood goes to the bench.
