Wests Tigers Just Get BITTERSWEET News...

Round 18 is here, and today's news is definitely a mixed bag for Wests Tigers fans. We break down Benji Marshall's team list to face the Dragons, with some big selection calls following injuries and Origin absences, including Heamasi Makasini's opportunity in the centres and Alex Twal's return. We also say goodbye to Luke, who has been granted an early release to join the Wahss for the remainder of the 2026 season. While it's tough to lose a player who always gave everything in the black, white and orange, it's a fantastic opportunity for him and one every Tigers fan can appreciate. Can the Tigers overcome the changes and bounce back against the Dragons? 👇 Let me know in the comments: What do you think of this week's team?
