Wests Tigers v Rabbitohs: It's a goer for To'a; Try king returns
The two sides come into this Round 11 clash with vastly different form following last week's matches.
The Tigers are licking their wounds following a heavy 64-0 loss to Storm, where they couldn't do anything right in the face of a Ryan Papenhuyzen led onslaught.
The former Tiger had a fight-half hat-trick and said that he side had spoken at halftime about not letting up in the second, given the spate of fightback and upsets in Round 11, like the one sprung by the Rabbitohs against the Broncos.
Trailing 14-0 at the break, Latrell Mitchell inspired his side to the come-from-behind victory, booting a two-point field goal and scoring a cheeky late try to secure their 22-14 win.

Team News
Wests Tigers: Centre Starford To'a has been cleared to make his return from a neck injury. Charlie Staines has kept his place on the wing, with Brent Naden named on the interchange. A knee injury to Fonua Pole has seen prop Royce Hunt come into the starting side, with Jack Bird listed on the bench and Tallyn Da Silva dropping out after the squad was trimmed to 19 players on Saturday night. The Tigers have won only two of their last 15 games at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. No changes to the 17 for the Tigers, with Tristan Hope the 18th man.
Rabbitohs: Bench forward Sean Keppie has dropped out of the 17 in a late change for South Sydney. Tevita Tatola comes on to the interchange as a result, with Keppie now the 18th man. Veteran Alex Johnston has been named to make his return from a hamstring injury as he continues his pursuit of the NRL's all-time try-scoring record. He currently sits on 196 tries, just 16 behind Ken Irvine on 212. Josh Schuster was again listed in the extended squad but his bid for a South Sydney debut has been put on hold after he was cut in the 24-hour update on Saturday night.
