Vodafone Fiji Bati and West Tigers flyer Marika Koroibete is aiming to help the Tigers win the Auckland Nines tournament this year.

With 12 tries already in his 15 game of NRL career, Koroibete will be one of the key players to watch in Auckland, with his strong ball running and cover defence characteristics that will certainly shine in the competition.

The Wests Tigers kick off their Auckland Nines tournament against the Gold Coast Titans this hour before facing the Cronulla Sharks at 1.20pm.

Meanwhile in other matches, Etoni Nabuli is expected to front up against fellow Fijian Sisa Waqa as the Penrith Panthers take on the Melbourne Storm in their first match at 7.25 tonight.
