Late Changes: NRL Round 2

Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary has finalised his team to take on the Melbourne Storm tonight for their Round 2 clash at AAMI Park.

Kickoff for the match is at 7:30pm AEDT with live coverage via Fox League.

Cleary has confirmed two late changes to the team originally named during the week with David Nofoaluma slotting in at fullback to replace the injured Tuimoala Lolohea (knee).

Powerful forward Josh Aloiai also makes his timely return from a knee injury on the interchange bench, replacing Michael Chee Kam, with Russell Packer to formally captain the side tonight.
