Wests Tigers players won't take trial against Penrith lightly - spots in the squad are up for grabs

WESTS Tigers players know the trial against Penrith at Camden is a final bid for spots in the squad.

WESTS Tigers coach Mick Potter says the trial match at Kirkham Oval next month will be one of the final auditions for his 2014 season squad.

Potter said players would not treat lightly the match against western Sydney rivals Penrith Panthers on February 8.

"I've got 22 or 23 players in contention (for spots), so it could be a trial performance that could get them in or get them out," he said.

"We have to put in a good performance, and the players need to if they want to be in the starting squad in round one."

Robbie Farah will be one of the Wests Tigers stars in action against Penrith Panthers at a Kirkham Oval trial next month.

Tickets cost $15 for adults, $7 for children and $40 for a family of four. They are available through Ticketek, selected Camden businesses and Gearzone at Macarthur Square.

The day of rugby league will also feature clashes between the two clubs' NSW Cup and under-20s sides.

"Our passionate fans in southwest Sydney (can) get close to the action and get their first taste of rugby league for 2014," Wests Tigers chief Grant Mayer said.
