In a clash that promises to be as fierce as a scrum in the pouring rain, the Wests Tigers are gearing up for a showdown with the Manly Sea Eagles on Thursday night.
The Tigers, desperate to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon for the third year running, will be looking to build on their recent win and make a mark on the league.
All eyes will be on Luke Brooks as he faces off against his old team for the first time, but another player to watch is Samuela Fainu.
The back-rower, recruited by the Tigers this season, will be lining up against his former mates at Leichhardt Oval.
A rising star in the team, Fainu has impressed with his partnership with five-eighth Lachlan Galvin and has shown the potential to be a standout forward.
With only two games left in the season, Fainu is hungry for victory and keen to prove himself against his old buddies, who are still fighting for a spot in the top eight.
As Fainu himself puts it, "There's always been banter between us, but once we hit the field, it's all business.
I'm ready to give it my all and show them what I'm made of." So get ready for an epic clash as Fainu takes on his former team in a match that's sure to be one for the history books.
