After a much-needed victory over the Titans at Leichhardt Oval, the Wests Tigers will be desperate to ignite a mid-season revival when they host the Raiders in Campbelltown on Sunday.
Having climbed out of the NRL cellar after celebrating their first win since Round 4, the Wests Tigers will be looking to make further moves up the ladder when they line up again in front of home fans.
Completing at 83 per cent and making just seven errors compared to the Titans' 14, Benji Marshall will be looking to take that same composure into Round 16 after ill-discipline cruelled the chance at victories earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, after their thrilling golden-point victory against the Dolphins, the Green Machine were brought back down to earth by the Cowboys on Friday, going down 34-16 in front of home fans.
The Raiders will have no excuses when they make the trip up the Hume, having retained star second rower after he was omitted from the Blues' squad for Game Two and could also welcome back Corey Horsburgh from injury.
