"The Wests Tigers are set for a back-line revamp in the upcoming 2025 NRL season, with winger Jeral Skelton eyeing a starting role after making the move from the Canterbury Bulldogs," reports zerotackle.com.

Coach Benji Marshall has a plethora of options to choose from, including the cross-code powerhouse Skelton, who has previously represented the Australian Rugby Sevens team and the now-defunct Melbourne Rebels.

With eight NRL appearances and four career tries under his belt, Skelton is looking to make his mark with the Tigers.

In addition to Skelton, other players in the running for a spot in the revamped back-line include Adam Doueihi, Brent Naden, Charlie Staines, Josh Feledy, Justin Olam, Luke Laulilii, Solomone Saukuru, Starford To'a, as well as new arrivals Jack Bird and Sunia Turuva.

With a wealth of talent vying for positions, the Tigers are gearing up for an exciting season ahead, as they aim to shake things up and make a statement on the field.

Skelton's determination and experience in the NSW Cup, where he has racked up an impressive record, will undoubtedly add depth and power to the Tigers' back-line."
