Tim Sheens' new-look Wests Tigers have given fans reason to believe after a decade of dread, entering the NRL season on the back of a 36-4 trial win over Canberra.
After 11 years out of the finals and seasons of misplaced hope, the Tigers will enter the season with confidence after completely outplaying Canberra.
With Luke Brooks and Apisai Koroisau out, five-eighth Adam Doueihi had his fingerprints all over the win, days after signing a one-year extension at the club.
