weststigers.com.au are reporting that Wests Tigers are gearing up for their Round 2 showdown against the Eels at CommBank Stadium, with the return of some key players providing a much-needed boost.
Koroisau is back in action after serving a suspension acquired in the last round of 2024, while Bula and To'a are making their comeback from injuries.
The Tigers will be looking to capitalize on their strengthened lineup.
Meanwhile, the Eels are making some changes, with Jordan Samrani, Shaun Lane, and Kitione Kautoga stepping in for Jake Tago, Kelma Tuilagi, and Charlie Guymer.
Samrani is set to make his NRL debut on the wing after making the switch from the Bulldogs during the 2025 pre-season.
Looking back at their recent encounters, the Eels came out on top against Wests Tigers with a commanding 60-26 victory in the final round of the 2024 regular season.
However, the Tigers managed to turn the tables on Easter Monday with a thrilling 17-16 win in a closely contested match.
The stage is set for a fierce battle between these two sides, with both teams hungry for success [and eager to stamp their authority on the competition].
It's sure to be a match filled with [heart-stopping moments, thunderous tackles, and breathtaking plays].
