Round 15 Friday Night Football will see the Wests Tigers go head to head with the Manly Sea Eagles.
The Tigers will go into the match with much needed confidence after their defeat over the South Sydney Rabbitohs last weekend.
In 13th spot on the NRL points’ ladder, the Wests Tigers are looking to make a late surge into the top eight before the finals.
Their win last weekend over the Rabbitohs without origin stars Aaron Woods and Robbie Farah will boost the Tigers coming in to tonight’s match.
Coming from a bye, the Sea Eagles will need a victory tonight to pull themselves out from the bottom of the ladder.
They will be without Jamie Lyon, who is ruled out with a hamstring injury, and will be relying heavily on Queensland origin play maker, Daley Cherry Evans.
Tiger, Martin Taupau, is coming off a dominant performance in their massive victory over the Rabbitohs.
Taupau showed his strength and power when he crossed over for two powerhouse tries and 11 tackle busts.
Round 15 will see the Parramatta Eels and the South Sydney Rabbitohs off the pitch this weekend with a bye.
