Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens has named his team to play Manly at Brookvale Oval on Friday, June 9, at 7.30pm, in round 14 of the Telstra Premiership.
Shannon McDonnell has overcome a rib injury and has been named at full-back for Brett Hodgson, who is unavailable due to Origin selection.
Shane Elford is back from a shoulder injury and returns to the centres to replace the injured Paul Whatuira.
Scott Prince has been named captain with Robbie Farah the vice-captain.

No real surprises in the team; I expected Elford to be moved back into the centres. We certainly have a lot of depth when a premiership winning centre is replaced by another.
I must say, Tuesdays have fast become terrific since Fitzhenry has been injured. What a delight not seeing his name on the team sheet.
