Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall has named a 22-man squad for Sunday’s Round 16 match against the Canberra Raiders at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.
There are a couple of changes to the side which defeated the Titans at Leichhardt Oval in Round 15 with Lachlan Galvin slotting straight back into the halves and Api Koroisau returning to hooker.
Galvin returns to the side at five-eighth after being rested against the Titans, with Aidan Sezer moving to halfback.
Tallyn Da Silva moves to the substitutes bench after filling in for Koroisau at hooker last weekend.
The other change to the starting pack sees Fonua Pole move from second row to prop in a swap with Reuben Porter who will start as an edge forward.
Campbelltown junior Kit Laulilii has been called into the 17 for the first time this season after making his NRL debut in Round 27 last year.
The only other change is to the backline where Brent Naden moves into the centres and Solomona Faataape pushes out to the wing.
Adam Doueihi is again in the extended squad after making his long-awaited return from injury in the NSW Cup last weekend.
Doueihi is one of 10 local juniors in the 22-man squad as the club prepares for its Junior League Appreciation Round match against the Raiders on Sunday.
