Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has updated his 19-man squad to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs for their Round 15 clash at Bankwest Stadium tomorrow night.

Kickoff for the match is at 7:50 pm AEST as Wests Tigers look to continue their momentum after a Golden Point victory over the Cowboys in Round 14.

Maguire has confirmed an unchanged lineup for Thursday's game with the club's representative players all listed to back up from their various commitments.

Corey Thompson starts at fullback while Moses Mbye shifts to the centres, having been passed fit by the club's medical staff following an allergic reaction.

With Ben Matulino (knee) sidelined, Josh Aloiai moves in to the run-on side at prop while Elijah Taylor returns on the bench for his first NRL game since Round 8.

Final training session at Bankwest Stadium

Oliver Clark and Josh Reynolds have dropped out of the 21-man squad named earlier in the week while Chris McQueen and Paul Momirovski remain in the 19-man squad after joining the team for their final session at Bankwest Stadium today.

Both Clark and Reynolds are expected to feature in the club's Canterbury Cup side.
