WESTS TIGERS VS GOLD COAST TITANS –Â SUNDAY 5THÂ MARCH, 5:15PM, LEICHARDT OVAL
For their part, the Tigers haven’t tasted finals since 2011, while the Titans have been there just once in the past six seasons so both clubs are aware something needs to change.
There’s a surprising amount of positivity surrounding the Tigers upon Tim Sheens’ return as coach, centred around the addition of Api Koroisau, Isaiah Papali’i and David Klemmer, who come straight into the starting pack.
Charlie Staines is the new face in an underwhelming Luke Brooks-led backline.
The Titans have arguably done a better job of recruiting to shore up their weaknesses with Kieran Foran and Sam Verrills bringing premiership-winning experience to the spine, while Aaron Schoupp gives the backline punch. Alofiana Khan-Pereira debuts on a wing after a big trial.
