Katoa and Alexis are beasts. Hopoate is unstoppable off the bench. They’re harder than the men’s forwards.

Wests Tigers v Bulldogs: No changes for Kimmorley; Dogs hunt back-to-back wins

The Wests Tigers are out to turn Campbelltown Sports Stadium into a fortress as they prepare to host the Bulldogs on Thursday night.

The two teams enter the prime-time clash in contrasting positions, with the Tigers eager to rebound after a Round 1 loss to the Broncos.

The Bulldogs claimed a historic victory over the Knights in their first NRLW game.

Now, they're chasing two in a row, with halfback Tayla Preston out to lead her side to another win.

There were promising signs from a young Tigers squad in Brisbane last weekend and Kezie Apps will look to set the tone up front as they look to build on that performance.

The return to Campbelltown is set to provide a major boost and Brett Kimmorley is eager to see a more clinical display from his side.

Team News
Wests Tigers: Coach Brett Kimmorley has named an unchanged side as the Tigers host the Bulldogs to get Round 2 underway. After holding their own in the opening half against the Broncos, the side were unable to keep pace in the second, but new recruits including fullback Jetaya Faifua and NRLW debutant Caitlin Turnbull on the wing showed signs of positive things to come.

Bulldogs: After recording a maiden win in their first ever NRLW game, there have been minimal changes made to the team, with Ebony Prior once again named to start at hooker, with Shaquaylah Mahakitau-Monschau coming from the bench in 14. Although named this way for Round 1, they were a late game day switch last week.

Stat Attack

Wests Tigers have lost both games played at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

Bulldogs hooker Ebony Prior played 13 games for Wests Tigers in 2023-24.

The Tigers line-up includes three current Origin players Sarah Togatuki, Kezie Apps and Emily Bass.
