The Wests Tigers will take on the St. George Illawarra Dragons in a National Rugby League game on Sunday, March 9.
The match is set for the ANZ Stadium with a 3 p.m. local kick-off time.
The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sport 2 and delayed on Channel 9 and Fox Sports 1. It will also be available via live stream on the NRL’s official subscription service.
The Dragons have instituted a number of changes, replacing the injured Josh Dugan at No. 1 with Adam Quinlan; replacing Sam Williams with Michael Witt after a competition; and starting Dylan Farrell in the centres. In addition, Gerard Beale returns from his long-term knee injury.
Tigers Coach Mick Potter has put four new recruits--Cory Paterson, Marty Taupau, Keith Lulia and James Gavet–in his 17, reported AU.com.
Both teams finished far from the top last year and are looking for a much better season this time around.
The Tigers enjoyed a better preseason and are not dealing with any injuries as severe as Dugan’s, therefore they are predicted to win.
