 Chris Lawrence was one of the Wests Tigers' best against the Dragons.
Named in team to play Eels: Chris Lawrence was one of the Wests Tigers’ best against the Dragons until suffering an injury. Robbie Farah meanwhile will play in reserve grade again.

By the time the Wests Tigers run out at 5.30pm to face Parramatta at ANZ Stadium this Saturday, Robbie Farah will have completed his second stint in reserve grade.

This time the club’s hooker on the outer will run out at Campbelltown Sports Stadium at 10.40am when Wests Tigers Intrust Super premiership side take on Mounties.

Not that Robbie will feel too lonely; coach Paul Stringer’s side contains a lot of names familiar to him.

In among them are Michael Chee Kam, Josh Addo-Carr,  Jack Littlejohn, Justin Hunt and Curtis Sironen.

Even the bench has some interesting names on it, such as Jeremy Marshall-King, Benji’s little brother, JJ Felise and another hooker, Manaia Cherrington, who is returning from injury

Back to first grade, head coach Jason Taylor has not made any changes to the team that easily disposed of the Dragons on Sunday.

Chris Lawrence and Tim Grant have been named despite failing to finish the match against the Dragons.

Both will be given until later in the week to prove their fitness for the vital round 21 match.

Joel Edwards retains his place on the interchange bench after playing his second NRL match for Wests Tigers last week.

In Holden Cup, Wests Tigers bounced back from a string of losses with a win over the Dragons last weekend.

The return of talented hooker Jacob Liddle is set to make a huge impact for the side leading into the finals.
