The Wests Tigers are gearing up for a crucial match against the Melbourne Storm, with a few strategic changes to their lineup. The team is determined to bounce back from their recent setback in Round 9, where they suffered a tough loss to Cronulla. One notable adjustment is the omission of Terrell May from the squad, who will be returning to Sydney for the birth of his child. This decision has led to a reshuffle in the forward pack, with Bunty Afoa stepping up to make his much-anticipated debut in the front row. Charlie Murray, who was previously on the reserves, has been moved to the interchange bench, adding another layer of strategic depth to the team.
The Tigers' lineup for the match against the Melbourne Storm is as follows:
- Heath Mason – RetroAir
- Sunia Turuva – Endacom
- Patrick Herbert – APN Compounding
- Taylan May – Gavmanak
- Luke Laulilii – Ellis Consolidated
- Jarome Luai (c) – Exclusive Estate Agents
- Jock Madden – Shane's Waterproofing
- Fonua Pole – One World Courier

15. Alex Seyfarth – Affordable Asphalt
16. Royce Hunt – The Lee Brothers

The Tigers are eager to prove their mettle and secure a much-needed win, especially after their recent setback.
