Wests Tigers coach Mick Potter has named a largely similar side to the one which took the field last weekend vs the Warriors at Leichhardt Oval. The one exception being a major one. The loss of forward leader Aaron Woods who Potter says expects to miss perhaps a couple of weeks with a knee injury suffered last week. Woods omission sees young Jack Buchanan gain another chance to start, whilst Penrith bound Shaun Spence comes onto the bench.
Perhaps the most glaring omission was the non selection of yet another prop in Keith Galloway, who tweeted only last weekend that he should be right to go for the Manly clash. The fact he hasn't been named may count for little though with the game not till Monday night and the fact Galloway could still yet be a late inclusion in a game where his presence could sorely be used now that Woods is out.
The game will mark Captain Robbie Farah's 200th and Liam Fulton's 150th for the Wests Tigers.
