How will Tedesco go against the club he's joining next season? Will the Roosters lose some go forward without Cordner? Can Lolohea steady the Tigers' halves woes? Were about to find out.
Sunday footy comes to you from Campbelltown this afternoon as the Wests Tigers host the Sydney Roosters. The hosts are as per program - meanwhile the Roosters have lost Tupou and Cordner which sees Matterson and Guerra come into the second row, Aubusson then moves to the centres with Latrell Mitchell replacing Tupou on the wing. Tetevano and Evans come onto the interchange.
