Wests Tigers have been granted a player exemption from the National Rugby League for tonight's Round 15 clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Bankwest Stadium.

Having originally been named in the run-on side at prop, Josh Aloiai has taken ill and will not feature in tonight's game. He will be replaced in the squad by forward Oliver Clark, who had originally been omitted as part of the 19-man update.

Please be advised that the @WestsTigers request to have (8) Josh Aloiai (illness) replaced in its 19-man squad by (21) Oliver Clark has been granted by the NRL.
