Josese Lanyon Named in Wests Tigers Vs Titans Must-Win Clash

Wests Tigers vs Titans now has Josese Lanyon in the frame, with the Tigers naming the debutant for a must-win clash at Leichhardt Oval. The selection adds another layer to a match already carrying weight for the Tigers at their final game at the venue.

Josese Lanyon Joins Leichhardt Oval

Lanyon was listed in the Wests Tigers lineup at No. 21. He is the debutant in a side built around Jahream Bula at fullback, Jarome Luai at five-eighth and Jock Madden at halfback.

The Tigers’ back line also included Sunia Turuva, Taylan May, Starford To’a and Patrick Herbert. In the forwards, Terrell May was named at No. 8, with Bunty Afoa, Alex Seyfarth, Kai Pearce-Paul and Sione Fainu all included in the 17-man group around him.

Titans Counter With Keano Kini

Gold Coast answered with Keano Kini at fullback and Jayden Campbell at halfback. Their lineup also listed Jenson Taumoepeau, Jaylan De Groot, AJ Brimson and Phillip Sami across the back line, with Moeaki Fotuaika and Klese Haas among the forwards.

That keeps the matchup tight on paper. The Tigers are the side making the selection call that changes the spotlight, while the Titans arrive with their own established spine already set for the same ground.

Tigers Lean On Final Leichhardt Oval Match

Leichhardt Oval is described as the Eight Wonder of the World in the source, and this is framed as the Tigers’ final match there. That gives the lineup a clear edge of occasion: a debutant in the 21 jersey, a must-win fixture, and a familiar venue closing out a chapter for the club.

For the Tigers, the practical takeaway is simple. Lanyon is in the squad, Bula is at the back, and Luai and Madden will steer the attack as they try to handle the pressure of the setting and the result at the same time.
