THE TEAM NEWS
WESTS TIGERS
- Wests Tigers suffered a fifth consecutive loss in the NRL as they went down to Canterbury Bulldogs last week and they will need to find a bit extra to end their losing streak.
- The Tigers have not been competitive enough in too many games this season and will now have to cope without the services of halfback Aidan Sezer after he copped a ban, although Api Koroisau is a huge inclusion.
Starting 13: 1. Jahream Bula 2. Charlie Staines 3. Starford To'a 4. Justin Olam 5. Brent Naden 6. Lachlan Galvin 7. Jayden Sullivan 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Apisai Koroisau 10. David Klemmer 11.

NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS
- Newcastle Knights toppled New Zealand Warriors to make it back-to-back successes and they will be full of confidence ahead of this trip.
- The Knights have looked solid with David Armstrong at fullback as they deal with the absence of Kalyn Ponga and they are boosted here by the return of Tyson Frizell and Jacob Saifiti.
Starting 13: 1. David Armstrong 2. Greg Marzhew 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Enari Tuala 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Daniel Saifiti 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Leo Thompson 11.

THE PREDICTION
Wests Tigers have struggled to get going under Benji Marshall and have won just two of their eight matches so far this season. They will be under pressure to climb up the ladder but come up against a Newcastle Knights side that will be looking for a third successive victory. They have done a good job in their last two outings and they are fancied to win again.
TIP: NEWCASTLE KNIGHTS TO WIN
