The new-look Tigers will be without a few big guns but Tim Sheens’ side will be looking to make a statement before the regular season commences when they take on the Raiders on Sunday at Belmore Sports Ground.
A young Tigers team suffered a heavy defeat to the Warriors last week but Sheens has named plenty of the side’s more experienced players for Sunday’s final hit-out.

Trials LIVE: Tigers get first look at star recruits as Raiders look to fill fullback void
Terry Campese withdraws as candidate for seat of Monaro
Terry Campese has withdrawn as the Labor candidate for Monaro, declaring that he does not want his past to be dragged through the media.
It comes after a series of revelations from The Daily Telegraph, including that the former NRL star visited his close friend and convicted drug dealer Adam Hunter in jail to raise funds for his youth charity.
Mr Campese denied using charity resources to meet with his mate.
In a statement released on Friday morning, Mr Campese said that he was pulling out of the election race.
“Today I’m announcing that I will step down as Labor’s candidate. Not because my heart isn’t in it but because I love this community too much to drag it through the media - whether they are truthful or not,” he said.
Raiders recruit lands on cloud nine
Not only has he landed on his feet in Canberra, but Danny Levi seems to have one tattooed arm in the sleeve of the Canberra Raiders No.9 jersey as well.
Levi's decision to leave Huddersfield is looking like an increasingly good call. Not just for the obvious reason he's no longer in Huddersfield either.
The 27-year-old only arrived at the Raiders in the New Year, yet he's already put himself on the verge of being part of the Green Machine's hooking rotation for round one.
