The Wests Tigers host the St George-Illawarra Dragons at ANZ Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Join The Roar for live scores from 3:00pm (AEST).
This match marks the first time that Benji Marshall has faced up against his old club since returning to the NRL following his brief stint playing for the Blues in Super Rugby.
Although eyes will be on Benji and how he reacts to this situation, there is lots more on the line for both clubs in this match.
The Tigers currently sit on the cusp of the top eight following an impressive 46-18 victory against the Bulldogs last round. They will be hopeful of carrying on this impressive form with the chance to make a push towards the top four.
The Dragons on the other hand currently sit in 12th and will be desperate to keep in check with the top eight.
A win could see them rise into the top eight, but a loss could see them slump to 13th and be in a tough spot to recover in time for the finals.
Last Monday the Dragons put in a good show against the Sea Eagles, but failed to keep what had been a good run of form going, falling 21-12.
Although the Dragons will enter the match as the underdog, they will draw confidence from the memory of their early season meeting against the Tigers.
The last time these two side met was in Round 1, a match the Dragons dominated, running out a 44-24 victory.
In team news, Dene Halatau has been added to the bench for the Tigers and is the only change made to the winning side from last round. Shane Pumipi and Charly Runciman join the bench for the Dragons.
Can Benji get a win against his old club? Or will the Tigers roll on?
