NRL Team Update: Round 25
Wests Tigers Head Coach Ivan Cleary has updated his 19-man squad to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs for their Round 25 clash tomorrow night.
Kickoff for the match is at 7:50pm AEST from ANZ Stadium, Sydney.
Cleary has confirmed just one change to the team originally named during the week with Jacob Liddle coming on to the bench in place of Robbie Rochow, who drops out of the squad all together.
Elijah Taylor also makes his return from a corked thigh on Thursday, with Matt Eisenhuth shifting to lock in place of co-captain Russell Packer. One of Wests Tigers best this year, Packer will unfortunately miss the final game of the regular season after picking up a hamstring injury in the Round 24 win over Manly.
Luke Garner and Tyson Gamble have been retained as reserves, while Malakai Watene-Zelezniak has been named in the club's Intrust Super Premiership team for their Elimination Final against Wyong on Sunday.
Rabbitohs Coach Anthony Siebold has confirmed an unchanged 17-man side for tomorrow's game with Braidon Burns and former Wests Tigers forward Junior Tatola remaining in the squad as reserves.
Final team lists for both sides will be confirmed one hour prior to kickoff tomorrow (6:50pm, Thursday).
