The Wests Tigers are gearing up to defend their turf at Leichhardt Oval, hoping to continue their winning streak at the historic ground as they welcome back a key player from injury.
New recruit Justin Olam has been given the green light to take on his former team, adding another layer of intrigue to the showdown at the iconic venue known as the "eighth wonder of the world." The recent $40m government funding injection has only added to the anticipation surrounding the match.
Coach Benji Marshall is well aware that a boisterous crowd alone won't be enough to take down the league-leading Storm.
However, he has full confidence in his team's ability to rise to the occasion and put on a show for the passionate fans who have stood by them through thick and thin.
The Tigers have already proven themselves at Leichhardt this season, with impressive wins over the Sharks and the Titans.
Marshall recalls the electrifying atmosphere that propelled them to victory after a nine-game losing streak, emphasizing the impact that the home ground advantage can have on the team's performance.
With politicians and thousands of fans expected to pack into the stadium on Saturday evening, the stage is set for another thrilling chapter in the Tigers' ongoing quest for success.
As they take to the field, they'll be looking to capitalize on the momentum and support that comes with playing at their beloved Leichhardt Oval.
