>Round 16 begins with the Tigers looking to make it back-to-back wins against the Raiders after ending an eight-game losing streak against them in 2024. The Wests Tigers last match was a narrow 18-14 loss to the Penrith Panthers in Round 14. They have won one of their last five games. The Raiders also enjoyed a bye in Round 15. In their previous outing, they secured a convincing 36-12 win against the Rabbitohs in Round 14, marking their fourth consecutive victory. For the Tigers, Prop Fonua Pole makes a welcome return after a three-game absence with a knee injury, which sees Sione Fainu move to the interchange. Workhorse lock Alex Twal is also back on deck after clearing concussion protocols, adding starch to their middle defence. Youngster Tallyn Da Silva has been named on the bench. Jed Stuart, son of coach Ricky Stuart, is set to make his long-awaited NRL debut on the Raiders wing. The 23-year-old comes in for Savelio Tamale who is sidelined with a knee injury. The forward pack remains unchanged, with Hudson Young named to back up after his State of Origin duties. Their last meeting was in Round 16 of the 2024 season at Campbelltown Stadium. On that occasion, the Wests Tigers produced a stunning upset, defeating the Raiders 48-24. Prior to that result, the Raiders had won their previous eight encounters against the Tigers.
