In a move reminiscent of a classic Rugby League play, Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall has rallied his troops for the upcoming showdown against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Leichhardt Oval this Saturday.

Marshall has called upon a 22-man squad, with Olam stepping up to fill the void left by the injured Starford To'a, who is set to be sidelined for a significant eight-week stretch due to ankle surgery.

The PNG international returns to the field after being sidelined last week with a knee knock suffered in a fiery pre-season clash against the Dragons.

Aidan Sezer has been given the nod to take the reins in the halves alongside Lachlan Galvin, while Jayden Sullivan stands ready to make an impact off the bench.

The lineup sees Fonua Pole step into the lock position, with Alex Seyfarth earning a spot on the interchange in the only other change to the starting lineup.

Adding to the excitement, Brent Naden has made his way back into the fold, following post-season surgery to address shoulder and ankle issues.

The stage is set for a thrilling contest as the Tigers look to unleash their full potential and secure a memorable victory on home turf.
