Campbelltown Sports Stadium will be the venue when Wests Tigers host North Queensland Cowboys in an NRL trial match ahead of the 2017 season.
Earlier today the club have confirmed that over a three-week period in February Wests Tigers will take part in the Auckland Nines, face St George Illawarra in Wollongong and host North Queensland at Campbelltown.
Officially kick-starting the club’s 2017 campaign will be the annual Nines tournament, which will take place on February 4 and 5 at Eden Park.
The following week will see the Tigers travel to WIN Stadium for a hit-out against the Dragons on February 11.
Campbelltown Sports Stadium will host its sixth Wests Tigers trial match in seven years, rounding out the pre-season schedule with a Friday night clash against competition heavyweights North Queensland on February 17.
Wests Tigers members will once again be granted free entry to the club’s home trial against the Cowboys, with tickets set to go on sale for non-members at 9am on January 9.
Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe said the NRL trial matches will obviously play a crucial role in the team’s preparations for the upcoming season.
“The club continues to strengthen its presence in the Macarthur region with the confirmation of our final trial match for 2017 – which is set to bring the star-studded North Queensland side to Campbelltown,” he said.
“We will also play a trial match in Wollongong against the Dragons, with the NRL side set to play at WIN Stadium for the first time in over eight years.
“The club can also confirm that all Wests Tigers Members for the 2017 season will have access to the Cowboys trial as part of their package, increasing the value of becoming a member as we target another record-breaking year in this department.
“I’m sure Wests Tigers members and supporters are eager for the footy to be back, with everyone at the club just as excited as we prepare for a big 2017,” he said.
