Sadly  News EX Tigers Player is Found in……

After back-to-back wooden spoon seasons for the Wests Tigers, it’s over to Benji Marshall now to try and lift the struggling club from the cellar in 2024.

The new campaign will start in Round 2 for the joint venture, with a Round 1 bye being followed by a trip to Canberra to face the Raiders, before Marshall returns to familiar territory at Leichhardt Oval for a clash with the Sharks.

Teams they play twice

No teams who finished in the top four last season appear twice on their schedule, with the Knights (fifth) the highest-ranked opponent Wests Tigers face in a home and away format in 2024. They’ll see fellow bottom-eight sides from last year, the Eels, Dolphins, Dragons, Rabbitohs and Cowboys twice, along with the Raiders and Sharks.

Teams they play once

Just one game against each of last year’s grand finalists, but they come in consecutive weeks in Round 7 and 8. The Bulldogs, Titans, Storm, Roosters, Warriors and Sea Eagles are the other teams they encounter just once in 2024.
